Foreign Income Exclusion 2555

Hi,

During the smart check at the end of completing my 1040 return. I received two error messages regarding my 2555 Foreign Income Exclusion form. 1. It asked the number of days present in the country on business. It would not accept 0 so I had to enter one, so do I just leave it at one?   2. The program asked the day I left the country but we are still in the U.S. We arrived on 7/19/2023 and won't depart back overseas until 07/29/2024. I must include a date in this field. Do I use 12/31/2023? 

Thanks
