My 1099-DIV has a dollar amount in Box 2f but the 1099-DIV form in Turbo Tax doesn't seem to have a Box 2f. How do I enter this info?

I did that but the only boxes that show up are 2b, 2c, and 2d and then it goes to Box 3.  There is no 2e or 2f but my 1099-DIV forms from the companies have them.  They are usually $0 but one of them is not and has a number in it that I have nowhere to enter.

You don't have to enter either of those boxes.   They pertain to Sect 897 gains.    From the 1099-DIV instructions:

 

Note.

Only RICs and REITs should complete boxes 2e and 2f.      Boxes 2e and 2f do not need to be completed for recipients that are U.S. individuals.   @buswellc

Thanks for the confirmation.  I just read that myself.  Appreciate the answer.
