Box 9 of the 1099-DIV form contains Non-Cash Liquidation Distributions. This indicates the assets (other than cash) that the taxpayer received when the entity they invested in was liquidated. These distributions reduce your basis in the investment.
Your basis in the investment determines how to report the amount listed in Box 9. If the amount listed in Box 9 is a return of your basis, it is not reported. If the amount listed is more than your basis, the excess is reported as capital gains.
