Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes...it is probably confused.

 

The absolute best way to fix it is to NOT do it during the review and error check.  Instead, navigate back to the sections where those #s  were entered in the first place, and fix it there.

 

You apparently have two things to fix:

 

1)  The foreign interest.  Go back and remove that interest value entirely.  Any values of 0.49 or less should not be entered since they round to zero and cause problems.  

 

2)  Then go to the 1099-INT section, and see if that US bank is listed in the 1099-INT table. If it is, then check you December bank statement from that bank.  If they issued interest to you of 50cents or greater, enter that value in box 1 of that 10990INT form.  Otherwise delete it.  Banks don't have to issue 1099-INT forms if they had less than $10 to report, but you still enter a 1099-INT from them in the software if it was 50cents or greater.

 

(((3)))) After fixing #1, when you go to the 1099-INT section, there may be a 1099-INT from that foreign provider for you to delete.  I'm not sure since I don't know all the things that occur when Foreign assets are entered))))

 

Then go thru the review and error checks again.
