The form for canceled debt is automatically selecting a secured option when I'm not answering the questions with a secured debt. How can I correct this while filing?

This is for a 1099-C form and it's the canceled debt worksheet that is making a selection under part II, line 9. It's selecting "other transfer" and it's greyed out so I cannot unselect it.

The selections under Part II line 9 were determined when the canceled debt was reported at the screen Tell us about your canceled debt.

Did you select I received a 1099-C for the cancellation of debt on my main home and transaction type Other transfer? Please clarify.

In TurboTax Online, access this screen as follows:

Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
Down the left side of the screen, click Wages & Income.
Click the down arrow to the right of Less Common Income.
Click to the right of Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
Click to the right of Cancellation of debt (form 1099-C).
