So am I. Why is it automatically have a check mark. 

If this is not resolved in 2 weeks, I am going to download it as a pdf and edit the "x" out and file by mail.

FYI, this is a known issue and TurboTax is working for the solution! You did nothing wrong, some others are experiencing the same issue.
