Did you try leaving it blank and continuing? It's not required for Efiling.
If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies between attempts.
In my test return, I left it blank and didn't get a Smart Check error. I did need to link it to Form 1116, since i reported a foreign dividend amount and a foreign tax amount.
I'm surprised you got an actual Form 1099-Div from a foreign payor.
