Where do I find the button "I will add information manually" for dividends?

When you are in the import are, there is an option in the lower right corner: Change how I enter my form.

At How do you want to add your 1099-DIV?, also in the lower right corner: Type it in myself.

For more information about how the different items reported on Form 1099-DIV are taxed, see: Is There a Dividend Tax? Your Guide to Taxes on Dividends - TurboTax Tax Tips & Videos

Thank you for the responses. I do not have either option in the right lower corner of the dividend section of my turbo tax form.

The first screen looks like this. Click on "Change how I enter my form". Then the next screen allows you to click the button to type it in yourself.

TurboTax Home & Business 2025 doesn't allow me the option to enter my investments manually. Instead, it states "Let's finish pulling in your investment income." There's no "Change how I enter my form" or "Type it in myself" options in the lower right corner of the screen.
