Input Screen 1099-DIV is missing box 2f. How to enter data or get program fixed?

Box 2f is missing from the input screen for 1099-Div. My 1099-Div has an amount for Box 2f which is for Section 897 Capital Gain. How do I enter the data or get the program updated to include the missing box?

Thanks for your reply and comment. Yes, I see a box on the "Relevant Form" Form 1099-Div Worksheet in TT Desktop Deluxe but it doesn't appear on the Wages & Income 1099-Div input screen that a person following the guided return method would normally use. As I posted above, I checked the Sec 897 information and found it didn't apply domestically. As a retired tax professional, I should have done that before posting the original request. It was the first time I have encountered it on a 1099-Div so figured it had to be entered.

Answered my own question in part. Box 2f applies to foreign persons and entities only so domestic taxpayers do not need to input the data. Program may still need to be fixed so persons needing to enter data have a place to put it.

it shows up in desktop deluxe so don't know what version you are using. perhaps you need to scroll down!
