Nonqualified Distribution (State ID) does not match with any states entered in Box 15 - error

My actual W2 Box 15 is blank. The TurboTax W2 Box 15 is blank. When I run Smart Check, I get the error "Nonqualified Distribution (State ID) does not match with any states entered in Box 15".

I don't live in the US and don't pay tax to any state. Box 15 should be blank.

When I press continue I get back "Nonqualified Distribution (State ID) must be entered". When I press continue again, I return to the Smart Check page. If I Run Smart Check again, I get the error again.

Try leaving all boxes 15, 16, 17 BLANK, no spaces.

They are all blank. I edited to be sure no hidden space characters.
