TurboTax thinks that I moved due to a TDY/PCS but that is not the case

Hello,

I am in the Air Force Reserves, and I am trying to get my tax return finished. In the My Info portion, TurboTax asks me where I was stationed. It asks for a state and the reason I moved, but the thing is, I never moved. I deleted the section, but when I got to the federal review, it told me that I needed to add the state and the reason for moving.
I believe that it was a mishap when TurboTax asked the initial questions. I suspect I read too quickly, and it just asked if I moved in general, which I did for other reasons. But my duty station has remained the same.
I'm trying to figure out where to tell TurboTax that I didn't move precisely for duty-related reasons.

Does anyone know how to correct this error?

No.  You need to answer those questions as a military filer.  Since you didn't actually change duty stations in 2023, the question wants to know what brought you to the state you were in during 2023.  In your case it would be Permanent Change of Station.
