Form 2555

I worked outside the US the entire year in Egypt; I maintain a home in the US and am entitled to deduct my Egyptian housing cost from my taxes. Now here is the issue, Egypt is not listed on the drop down menu, it will not let me "type" Egypt in, so i am leaving it as "No Entry". The problem is the turbo tax software will not let me proceed without an entry, What do I do, it is the only thing holding me up from filing.

 

Note: I have lived in Egypt since November 2020, and have filed both 2021 and 2022 taxes using turbo tax and dint have this issue. Please advise.
