Foreign Earned Income. Physical Presence Test. Trips to US info. Days on Business box. "Minimum value is 1" error. I had no working days - all vacation. Why is 1 the min?

Foreign Earned Income. Working through exclusion. Using Physical Presence test. Entering Trip Information for my trips to the U.S. The trips I took were all vacation days. No working days were spent in the U.S. TurboTax is requiring the "No. of Days in U.S. on Business" box to have a "Minimum value of 1." Why is this so? I truly spent 0 days on business and do not want have conflicting info by indicating 1 day was business and then specify that $0 in income was earned in the next box.

Please leave the field "No. of Days in U.S. on Business" blank if you did not have any business days while traveling in the US. Also, leave the field "Income Earned in U.S. on Business" blank if you did not earn any income.

Tried this but the "No. of days" field being left blank threw an error that prevented e-filing. "Income earned" as blank was no problem

I have the same problem.  Is there a fix?

Yes, I am having this problem too, and it's preventing me from filing.
