I have dairy farmer clients, and this year they have received notices and numbers in box 6 of the patronage dividend form to be used on the Form 8903. I read that you don't have to pay wages to get the deduction. Do I have to fill out the whole form (income and deductions), or just put the given number onto the line. I did just put the number on, and the deduction flowed to the 1040, but just wanted to make sure it was right.
