Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I also had this problem but it did not affect my ability to e-file my 2021 federal and state (NY) taxes.

 

After e-filing my 2021 taxes I was reviewing the pdf file and noticed that the 'Own a foreign account' was checked on my NYS return. Then I found the that this was also checked on my Federal return, though on the federal return the following boxes were checked 'No', so that additional forms were not needed. I went back into Turbo Tax and in the 1099-OID section for foreign accounts, somehow the 'I own a foreign account' box was checked. I then checked the 'None of the above' box and that cleared the problem.

 

I then went back to my 2020 tax filing and noticed that the same issue had occurred. So most likely the 2020 Foreign Account selection  was imported into my 2021 Turbo Tax. For the record, I had no problem e-filing my 2020 taxes and nor any issues related to this erroneous Foreign Account check box being checked.
