I have a 1099-DIV with an amount in box 2f. However, Turbotax does not provide a field to enter box 2f. How should this be accounted for? thanks

You can leave it blank.  

Boxes 2e and 2f apply only to foreign persons and entities whose income maintains its character when passed through or distributed to its direct or indirect foreign owners or beneficiaries.  It is generally treated as effectively connected to a trade or business within the United States.

From the instructions for Form 1099-DIV-  For Box 2f. Section 897 Capital Gain:

Enter any amount included in box 2a that is section 897 gain from dispositions of USRPI (United States Real Property Interest).  See Section 897 gain, earlier. Boxes 2e and 2f do not need to be completed for recipients that are U.S. individuals.
