In this case, it's possible that the download failed by inserting some gibberish here and there.

 

To fix this, 

1. get a printed copy of the 1099-DIV (or copy it out by hand), 

2. then delete the 1099-DIV in TurboTax (look for "Delete" or the trash can icon), 

3. then re-enter the 1099-DIV by hand.

 

This will almost certainly fix your situation faster than trying to figure out what happened in the download.
