Entering dollar amount manually from 1099-INT

It's real simple. I have a paper 1099-INT received from my mortgage company for small interest that I received from them. Just one number I can easily enter manually, and I did it that way on 2023 TurboTax. This year, it's forcing me to import it from my financial institute. When I go thru the hassle of that process, it says it can't find that info.  Why take away the manual entering option? We don't need fancy stuff to make life harder.

Do you get the screen with the names of banks, etc?  Don't try to import it. On the Let Us Enter Your 1099 page scroll down to the bottom and pick Enter a different way or Skip Import.  If you are using the Online version here is a screenshot I found posted.
