TT Online '25. Part III Line 7a Sched B is checked YES, showing I have an interest in a foreign acct. WRONG. I reloaded all 1099 Div & 1099 Bs. How to correct Schd B?

This issue persists from prior years and has not been resolved. I deleted and reloaded all 1099's, but this did not resolve the issue. I did not indicate ownership of a foreign account. How can I resolve?

First check to see if there is a foreign tax paid amount reported in Box 6 of a 1099 INT or Box 7 in your 1099 DIV. If there are, 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.
