Form 8853 P1 info works error

I did not contribute to an Archer MSA, but on final review Turbo Tax says I need to complete a yes/no radio box.

Specifically, the error code is, "Form 8853 p1: Form 8853 p1: Info Wks, Line A2 check boxes must be entered."  Then there is an image of the "General Information Smart Worksheet" showing "Did you or your employer make a contribution to an Archer MSA for 2023" and the radio shows Yes.  But I didn't.

What do you suggest? I have already tried deleting any reference to a HSA and then re-adding the information.

Update: this is solved.  I revisited the HSA/MSA section, answered questions as if there was a MSA. When I re-ran Federal Review, the error was gone.  I then revisited the HSA/MSA section and answered the questions correctly.  Then it calculates correctly and there is no error at the Federal Review screen.
