Can I get help from Turbo Tax with a drop down box that isn't functioning correctly?

The drop down box doesn't contain all the choices that Turbo Tax says it covers in the "Learn more" answers?

What form are you trying to enter?  Where?

I'm entering from 1099-DIV to the Turbo screen about sales of stock related things. The section is called "Sales Info"

It says to select what type of investment in the drop down box. I clicked "Learn more" and it gives a lot of info including a list of 14 kinds of investments that Turbo covers in that section.  The one I need to choose is in the list, but it isn't in the drop down box. There are only 4 things in it so I can't enter what I need to.

Same situation in another drop down that asks how I received this investment.  "Learn more" lists several things like "Inheritance" - which applies to me - but that is not listed in the drop down either.

Do I just close  my eyes and pick one? Or is there possibly a fix?

Thank you for reading all this!

You either have the wrong kind of form or you are in the wrong screen.  Sales are on a 1099B not a 1099Div. Dividends go under Dividends.  Did you get a 1099 Consolidated Summary from from your broker?  That will have sections for 1099-Int and 1099-Div and 1099B. You need to enter each section in the right place. So read it carefully and look for headings…1099-Int for interest or 1099-Div for Dividends and 1099B for sales.
