Hey there!
I imported my W2 and kept getting a message to check the foreign address box when I tried to e-file because my US address was showing in both address sections.
Basically, go to the edit address section (you'll see your US address come up), and click the tab on top to select Foreign Address. When that comes up your address info will be in there as well. I think importing just made it fill every section that seemed relevant. Once you delete the address in the section, it'll disappear and you won't get the message about selecting the foreign address box.

Hope this helps!

This did not work for me.  Will not let me edit anything.  The only thing that functions is the Foreign address box to be checked but there is nothing else works when I'm prompted that there are more details to be wrapped up.  "Check This Entry"

It sounds like you're trying to edit in the box that popped up stating you need to check the foreign address box. You're not able to edit there. You have to go back to your personal info in the beginning and under address, click the edit button. Then you can select the address box/tab which will let you scroll to other options, one being "foreign address". Once you select that you can edit or delete the info that comes up.
