It sounds like you have a "ghost" 1099-INT that needs to be deleted.
If you received interest from a US bank, then you don't need to enter a 1099-INT (even if they sent you one). Do this instead, unless you have entries in boxes other than box 1 and the Payer's and the Recipient's information.
*** Desktop***
1. go to View (at the top), choose Forms, and select the 1099-INT. Note the Delete Form button at the bottom of the screen.
2. do this for every 1099-INT that you see.
*** Online ***
1. go to Tax Tools (on the left), and navigate to Tools->Delete a form
2. delete form(s) 1099-INT
Note, this will delete all the 1099-INTs you have entered, including hopefully the ghost 1099-INT causing the message.
Then do a Search (upper right) for 1099-int and click on the jump-to link (Mac users must look for 1099-int in the Topics List). Tell TurboTax you will type the 1099-INT in yourself, then click on Add Interest (or whatever it says). On the next screen, enter just the name of the bank or other institution. and the dollar amount.
You will have to re-enter each valid 1099-INT or interest amount (since not everyone issues 1099-INTs) that you have.
