1099INT payment from IRS - nowhere to enter it

TurboTax only offers the possibility of entering interest from financial institutions, not the IRS. Is this a bug? 

I have seen previous replies to this same question, but nothing seems to work now in the 2024 edition of Ttax.

Enter interest from the IRS like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1. Enter it manually and just enter IRS for the payer. Don't enter any other info like the address or a EIN. On the Let Us Enter Your 1099 page go down to the bottom and pick Enter a different way
