How do I edit the actual IRS form in TurboTax if TurboTax incorrectly populated the form from a 1099-DIV?

TurboTax incorrectly populated the 1099-DIV Recipient's address field (city and state) in Schedule B when uploading the 1099-DIV from my financial institution.

AND..if you are using the "Online" software?

 

Just delete the entire form.

Then re-enter it manually.

DO NOT upload a picture or PDF of the 1099-DIV...just type in all the data.

No address is required when you type it all in manually.
