TurboTax says I have a work retirement account but I do not

I have TurboTax Premier 2020 - it insists I have a retirement account at work but I do not.  My w2 does not indicate I have one (box 13 is not checked), the section deductions and credits - retirement and investments - traditional and Roth IRA contributions does NOT include a question about whether or not I have a retirement account at work.  The IRA contributions worksheet shows a check on the box stating I have a retirement account at work - but I don't know why it is checked and it won't let me uncheck it.  I DO NOT have a retirement account at work, and never have.  I can find no reference anywhere in turbotax questions about a workplace retirement account.  How do I make turbotax remove the checked box on the IRA contributions worksheet.

With help from sclearwater - there is a question in Other Tax Situations > Retirement Savings > IRA Calculator tool about having a workplace retirement account.  How it got checked is beyond my brain cell to decipher - but it's the solution.  Thanks sclearwater!
