How get system to accept that customer entered dividend so NOT need input from outside source it knows of, nor delete as not applying since DOES apply?

Would you clarify your question? It's hard to tell what you are asking here.

I've entered interest and dividend data.  System has a 1099 form from financial source so wants me to have it added.  Inappropriate to add, since already entered.  System option to delete IF NOT apply to this filing.  Inappropriate to declare it not apply since does, yet I've already entered, so question is HOW  get system to accept that customer's already entered the same data it wants to add from other source?  I not want to delete MY input so import financial source data; I think system needs improving so customer easily inputs, ignores automated other sources wanting their way.   I no longer need answer, since free system not allow input income for working as election poll officer, I'll use other means to file.  These problems need communicated to system programmers and administrators to improve, allow customer to select option to IGNORE that outside source, since customer prefers to input, and enable use FREE system to include income for working election polls (essential government job, done by people working few days a year, not for $ as much as help elections operate properly).

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you had 1099 data that was rolled over from the prior year return but you manually added the 1099 on your 2024 return instead of importing. 

In cases like these, the 1099 that was rolled over would be blank and TurboTax prompts you to complete the form or delete it as the return can't be e-filed with empty forms. 

Since you've already entered the 1099 elsewhere, you'd need to delete this form from the program to avoid errors with e-filing.
