I'm not sure what you are asking, though the fact that you are using an online version of TurboTax - where the actual Forms and Schedules are hidden from you until you pay - may be the crux of the problem.

When you enter a 1099-DIV you enter total dividends from Box 1a and qualified dividends - typically a "subset" of total dividends - from Box 1b. On Form 1040 the "ordinary" dividends" (total dividends) show up on line 9a while the "qualified" dividends - that receive beneficial tax advantage - show up on line 9b. You really can't see this differentiation using the online product until you pay and can look at your actual Form 1040.

You can peek at only the Federal form 1040 and the summary of the state info by going here:

My Account >> Tools >> View Tax Summary >> Preview 1040

To view your entire return using the online editions (including the state) before you file, you will need to pay for your online account.
To pay the TurboTax online account fees by credit card, without completing the 2016 return at this time, click on My Account at the top of the online program screen. Then click on Print Center. Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Continue. On the next screen it will ask if you want Audit Defense, if you do not want this option just click on the Continue button. The next screen will ask for all your credit card information so you can pay for the account.
