Should Box 2a from 1099-DIV labeled "Total capital gain distribution" be imported into TurboTax if no gains have actually been DISTRIBUTED to me?

Any growth in my investment account is always reinvested. I've never received any dividends. So I'm struggling to understand why any amount is classified on my 1099-DIV as gains that have been distributed.

everything is by computers now.

The gains were distributed to your account in your name and as far as IRS is concerned they were distributed to you.

How to amend California state return because of 2020 Covid Disaster Distribution was included in both federal and state income when it should be only federal, correct?
