It depends. Try this series of steps to remove this error message you may file your return without having to upgrade.

1. First check to see if you have a 1099 INT or 1099 DIV.  If there is a foreign tax paid amount reported in Box 6 of a 1099 INT or Box 7 in your 1099 DIV, then you may have a foreign account that you are not aware of. There are follow-up questions in those forms that you need to complete. 

If this isn't the issue, then try this to remove this error from your return: 

1. Federal or Federal Taxes if working in the desktop version
2. Income or Wages and Salaries if working in the Desktop Version
3. Other Tax Situations
4. Prepare a Report on Foreign Assets
5. Answer None of the above to Tell Us About Any Foreign Bank Accounts.

7. Answer None of the above to Tell Us About Any Foreign Trusts.
8. Click Continue.
9. Answer No, I don’t have foreign financial assets to Foreign Financial Assets.
