As noted in previous posts, you should only report your dividend income one time on your tax return. You are correct in that if you have added the dividend income in two different sections in TurboTax, then you will need to delete the one that is not relevant to your tax return.
Where and how you should report these dividends is predicated on how the payor views your status. For example, you mentioned that you received a Schedule K-1. Therefore, does the payor of the dividend consider you a limited partner? Review Part II of your Schedule K-1 as there you will find information about your status as a partner, among other things, i.e., whether you are a limited partner, general partner, domestic partner, etc. If you are a partner, then report the dividend income under the category Business Investment and Estate/Trust Income (TurboTax CD/download) or S-corps, Partnerships, and Trusts (TurboTax online).
You probably are a limited partner and the dividend information entered on your 1099-DIV that duplicates the dividend information on your Schedule K-1, is just that, a duplicate and can be ignored. With regard to the other dividends reported on your 1099-DIV, it appears you have already reported those so there is no need to make any further adjustments regarding those dividends.
