state of OH want me to put a number more than 0 in the out-of-state purchases Under sales/Use Tax on form

state of OH want me to put a number more than 0 in the out-of-state purchases which you paid no sales tax or OH use tax. I do not have any and the review keeps marking this as an error. What do I need to do?

In the course of the Ohio interview, did you see on the screen titled "Take a look at Ohio taxes and credits" at the bottom of the screen, a link to "Ohio out-of-state purchases"?

Based on a test, when you ran the state Review, did you get a screen "Check this entry", "followed by Information Worksheet: Use purchases shouldn't be less than zero"? There is a line "Use tax purchases" followed by a box with 0 (zero).

If so, it looks like somehow this section got a county name inserted into it (if you scroll down in the error message box, you can see it). So long as there is a county name, TurboTax will demand a dollar amount.

Are you using the TurboTax Desktop product?

I'm using TurboTax Desktop, and I also have this problem. I cannot scroll down to see any county name. How can this be fixed? I don't have any use tax purchases, but cannot get past this error.
