When I try to e-file my taxes, Turbotax gives me an incorrect error that says "Employer foreign country should be entered". How do I stop it from saying that?

I have verified that both my address and my employer's address are correctly marked as "US Address", and the error message only comes up for "Foreign country", not "Province" or "Postal Code". I have tried just leaving it at "(not applicable)", but then I just get stuck in a loop of trying to file, then the error stopping the e-file again. What else could be going wrong? How do I stop this error?

 

Note: I've tried to select that this is on Desktop, not Online, but the tag isn't changing. But yeah, this is on Desktop, in case that is relevant.

If anyone comes across this in the future, the solution for me was to select any foreign country from the dropdown (I used the one on the actual form itself, in case that makes a difference), then re-select "(not-applicable)" from the dropdown. That fixed whatever quirk was going on.
