Turbo Tax keeps saying I have an account in a foreign country even though I said I don't. How do I correct this?

Every time I go to file it tells me I need to upgrade because I have an account in a foreign country. I don't. I've fixed this multiple times and it keeps reverting every time.

  1. Select Tax Home in the left pane
  2. On the Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, select the dropdown on the right side of the Income & Expenses box, then select StartContinue or Pick up where you left off
  3. Select the dropdown to the right of Less Common Investments and Savings (1099-OID, contracts and straddles, etc.
  4. Select Start or Revisit to the right of 1099-OID, Foreign Accounts
