Are you having to upgrade to Deluxe?   Can you scroll down to the bottom of the page and click Continue?   What version are you using?

I am using the Plus edition.  It will not allow me to scroll  down and there is no continue to button.  It sticks on wanting me to upgrade to Deluxe.  I believe that it thinks that I have a foreign account of some kind, which neither my wife nor I have.  Please advise.

 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 perform the following steps to remove this error message so you can file your return.

 

To remove this 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.
  6. Click Continue.
  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.
  10. Click Continue

If this doesn't remove the entry, try this:
