I have uploaded 8 forms DIV. I do not remember the one where I typed the wrong address. 

How can I check which one has the wrong address, before deleting it?

I would like to avoid deleting all 8 of them just because one is wrong...

You can simply select edit beside each one to see the address you entered, if it is correct continue through the screen until you are back to the page showing all dividends. Then select edit beside the next one, continue until you see the one that should be corrected.

In the "edit" section it lets me changes the numbers in the boxes but I cannot see the addresses...

The only modifiable thing is the payeer Name...

 

 

It's all right to proceed without the change. You can feel confident to file your tax return because it's not a required entry and it may not even be part of the e-file portion of the return. You do have your documents should they every be needed and it's not likely.
