On the entry screen of form 1099-DIV in TurboTax, click on the box My form has info in other boxes (this is uncommon). Other boxes will appear and you can enter your information in boxes 5 and 7.

I am trying to make a correction to a previously entered. Turbo is not allowing me to re-enter and make an entry to an individual line item. TY

It depends.

Have you already submitted your returns for filing? If so, you cannot make any changes now. You would need to file an amended return to make the corrections once your return is accepted.

Amend return

If you have not submitted your return yet, you can make the changes by going back into the federal interview section of the program.

Select Income & Expenses under the Federal Tab
Scroll down to All income
Select Dividends on 1099-DIV
Select Add/Edit 1099-DIV
Proceed to edit the applicable information

I have not submitted my return for filing. When I go to edit 1099 Div , you show the list of my previous entries, but you do not allow me to access these figures to make any changes . I cannot click on an amount to change it. T Y

The next suggestion would be to re-enter the entire 1099-Div in a new input screen. Then go back and delete the original one.

There is a little box saying to open for more. Here is a screen shot from last year. Not sure if it's the same.

If you are still having issues, it is recommended that you first log out of your TurboTax Online and delete your cookies.

On rare occasions, they may make your browser think you already did something that you still need to do. To fix that, you'll need to delete (clear) the cookies from your browser. For more information on how to delete your cookies on the browser you are using, please see How do I delete cookies?.

Then, to get to the correct area TurboTax:

Open or continue your return.
Search for 1099-DIV and select the Jump to link in your search results.
Edit your 1099-DIV.

When editing your 1099-DIV, check the box that states My form has info in other boxes (this is uncommon). Then, you will be able to enter data in Box 5.

I have attached a screenshot below for additional guidance.
