You're right. You are not in the right place. You don't enter the U.S. securities amount on the same screen where you enter the 1099-DIV. Enter the information that's on the 1099-DIV, box by box, then click Continue. The next screen will ask about "uncommon situations." On that screen, check the box that says "A portion of these dividends is U.S. Government interest" and click Continue again. Then the next screen after that will give you a box to enter U.S. Government interest. You have to click through two screens before you get there.
