How do I remove a foreign account? Why does it keep adding it on when I don’t have one?

You may have answered yes to the questions about having foreign assets.  Follow these steps to troubleshoot:

 

  1. Login into TurboTax
  2. Go to Other Tax Situations
  3. Go to Other Tax Forms
  4. Select Foreign financial assets report
  5. Answer no to the question and continue through the rest of the prompt so TurboTax properly updates.

Additionally, make sure you didn't answer "yes" to any questions related to foreign assets so TurboTax doesn't keep prompting foreign reporting items.  You may need to delete foreign forms (i.e. FBAR, or Form 8938) if you keep getting these foreign related items from TurboTax as well.

 

Here are some links that talk more about the foreign assets section, as well as how to delete forms, if needed:
