"Form 2: Qualified Dividends secon is too large" - Bug in the Montana State Returns

I'm trying to finish my state taxes for Montana and am getting the following error: "Form 2: Qualified Dividends secon is too large" yet when I try to edit the field I can't make any changes. The field is on Montana Forms > Form 2 > Federal Income > 3a Qualified Dividends > Column B.

 

I have checked this about ten times now and the amount equals the number from my statements from D.A. Davidson (I had two statements that I had to enter on my federal return and this field is auto-generated when choosing to file the state taxes in MT).

 

From my 1099-DIV I entered line '1b- Qualified dividends' into the correct field within Turbo Tax on the Federal filing. I then began my state taxes and everything auto-populated. As I went through the review process I keep getting the error that I need to fix this field, yet there isn't anything too fix. Again, I have two 1099-DIV documents and the total is what appears in the field on Form 2 > Federal Income > 3a Qualified Dividends > Column B.

 

I believe this may be a bug in the software. Please let me know ASAP. Thanks!

I have the same issue on the 2020 Montana tax form.
