I owned a stock of a company that was acquired. I received shares of the parent company, as well as a one-time cash dividend. How do I declare this dividend, in my tax return?

The company should issue a 1099-DIV. Reorganization can be complicated and sometimes the distributions are non-taxable.
The dividend, if it is truly that, is reported on schedule B.
