outstanding loan balance missing a value mortgage interest

Now that the Mortgage Interest Deduction Form error has been resolved (software update released 2/24/22) it clears the first error many have been dealing with.

 

However, I could use some guidance.   I have two 1098s (sold one home, bought another).   After I enter both 1098's, TT is asking for clarification about the outstanding loan balance as of 1/1/22.  When I enter "0" since I technically paid it off last year, I get an error "Outstanding Loan Balance is Missing a Value" in red.

 

If I enter any other number in the field, my refund is reduced. 

 

Why won't it let me enter zero?   I did not have a loan balance on 1/1/22.

 

Thanks.
