There is no way to uncheck the box in TurboTax online. You'll need to delete Schedule B, the interest and dividend form and reenter any interest and dividends.

 

To change the foreign bank account question in TurboTax Online:

  • Click Tax Tools in the left column,
  • Click Tools,
  • Select Delete a Form in the center,
  • Find and delete Schedule B.

Deleting Schedule B will delete any interest (1099-INT) and dividends (1099-DIV) on your return. If you received interest and dividends, reenter those amounts before filing.

 

The foreign bank question will come up again. Be sure to say No this time.

@ErnieS0 Ernie - I had the same problem, went in and deleted my dividends and interest to get the x out of the foreign account box. It worked but when I did that, my state tax refund dropped by a large amount. Can you explain that? I think it was the amount that was in the amount for the foreign account.

The foreign tax credit would have reduced your tax liability.  Re-entering the amounts and making sure to answer the foreign bank account question carefully should get your return to where it is supposed to be.
