Deductions & credits

I have a1098 form ( Mortgage interest -for Home equity line of credit  with a zero in box 2 (-Outstanding principal balance. ) When I key in zero in Turbo tax , Turbo wont accept a "0".  I called my bank , thought  my 1098 form is wrong... and they said in the beginning of the year as of 01/01/2020 the principal balance is zero which they reported in IRS.

 

If I enter zero in Turbo , I cannot move forward and the message says I have enter a figure not zero. 

Please advise, how to mitigate this and move forward in processing my  2020 Income tax. 

 

Thank you.
