In the interactive interview:

"Enter U.S. Government interest
Enter the amount of dividends reported on this 1099-DIV from [broker] that represents interest from U.S. Government obligations.
U.S. Government interest"

My statement from my broker breaks it down as "Interest reported as dividends":
     U.S. Government Interest Reported as Dividends:
          Total for year ......   xxx
          Qualified   ..........    yyy

Which number is wanted?

    Q. Which number is wanted?
    A. Total for the year. 
     
    "Qualified" means something else.

    Does the qualified go somewhere else?
