No, you don't have to lie to get through the section.
If you are entering the information from box 2 of your 1098-INT form, it is asking for your balance as of 1/1/2019. You must have add a balance at the beginning of 2019.
If this is information that comes up a few questions later, did you answer the question, "Was this loan paid off or refinanced with a different lender in 2019?" Yes?
If you can't enter the correct information, you should start at the beginning of the section and review all of your answers.
