California state -- principal residence is in foreign country -- entries not allowed in TurboTax

I am a California resident working and living in Japan for past years.   Always used TT to do e-filing of taxes but this year when asked for my Principal Residence Information (form 540), I select "No" as usual and can enter my Japan street address and city but TT requires a selection for State and it also requires a selection for my county in California.  The "Learn More" note says to leave the state and county selected as blank but TT will not process this in the final review check.  I tried just leaving my Japan address in the 540 form with state selected as California and my county selected and this gets me past the TT final review but then I get an email back after e-submittal that my return has been rejected.  How do I get past this?
