I received a 1099-div for interest paid on money in my business checking account . I am a sole proprietor, do I report this on Schedule B or C?
Where to report 1099-DIV income for my business?

Schedule B as always.
Thanks, it seemed strange to report business income as personal income, I found this explanation here:
Investment income. Income such as interest and dividends from bank accounts, stocks, and bonds are generally not considered business income for a sole proprietor, even if you think of them as reserve funds for business downturns. Instead, they are treated as personal items to be reported on Schedule B, Interest and Ordinary Dividends, which is part of your Form 1040. Any gains or losses on your investments are reported on Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses.
