My tax exempt interest dividends figure is doubled on the 1040. How do I correct that?

The entry form has the correct figure - but when I review my 1040 - the amount is doubled. Where do I go to change that?

It sounds like somehow, TurboTax recorded that the entry...

It sounds like somehow, TurboTax recorded that the entry was made twice.

Your best course of action is to delete all traces of the form that reported tax-exempt interest - the 1099-DIV or 1099-B and all related worksheets. To do this for TurboTax Online, follow the instructions below. Then type the form in by hand.

If that doesn't solve your problem, please write back.

I figured out what is happening on the income screen for the 1099 div total. It is NOT doubling the total. It is taking the box 11 tax exempt interest dividends and adding it to the box 1 taxable dividends. Should it be doing that? It is adding the box 1 (taxable) and box 11 tax free dividend amounts and summing it on the income screen. It did NOT do this last year. Can you confirm if this is a bug.
