Error on form 8829 Expenses for Business Use of Your Home

I do not run a daycare, so under Part I: Lines 4-6 should be blank. But in Line 5, TurboTax entered 8,760 hrs. How do I fix this? I'm using TurboTax online, and discovered this while reviewing my return. (I have not submitted it yet). 

I understand that the results in Line 6 is still zero, because Line 4 is blank. Still annoying. It's blank on all of my past returns (this is my first year using TurboTax).

There is nothing that you can fix in this case.  The form itself defaults to 8760 on line 5 for every Form 8829.  Unless you are using your home as a day care, that entry on line 5 will not affect your return.
