Entering a nominee distribution on the Dividend Income Worksheet (additional Information) is decreasing the nominee distributions in the return. Why?

In the interest and dividend worksheets the amount of "Nominee Adjustment" is entered as a positive number (which may be counter-intuitive).  You may have to us separate entry lines on the Sch. B W/S because the nominee adjustment gets spread across everything on that line; so split into a pre-DoD bucket and a Post-DoD bucket.  

Then include an explanatory statement telling IRS what you have done about accomplishing the split.  A spreadsheet will help, but there's no way it's not tedious.

The program will not let me enter a negative number for the amount of the nominee distribution.  I am entering a positive number and the program is still adding the nominee adjustment to taxable income.  I updated my program and it appears to be working correctly now.
