It might be that some information related to foreign account got carried over from last year.  If you do not have a foreign account in the year of 2020, you can simply remove a Form 8938 "Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets" from the program.  Here are the steps:

 

In TurboTax online,

  • Sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • Select Tax Tools, click on the drop down arrow
  • Select Tools
  • Under Other helpful links, choose Delete a form
  • Select Delete next to the form 8938 and other worksheets about foreign account and Continue with My Return

 

A Form 8938 is used when you have specified foreign financial assets and the total value of all the foreign assets in which you have an interest is more than the appropriate reporting threshold.  For details, click here: https://www.irs.gov/instructions/i8938
