You enter both box 1a and 1b from the 1099Div.   Box 1b is only the portion (or all) of 1a that is taxed as qualified dividends.  They get taxed as Capital Gains.   You have to enter both boxes.   

Enter a 1099-Div under

Federal on left or top

Wages and Income

Interest and Dividends

Dividends on 1099-DIV - Click the Start or Update button

 

Don't enter the bank name and don't try to import it.  It is just as fast and easy to manually enter it.  At the bottom pick Change How I enter my Form

Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself
