Cannot de-select Trump account for ineligible child

I have two children, one of which is eligible for a Trump account and one that is not.  When I encounter the screen that prompts to open a Trump account, I opt to do so because one of my two children is eligible.  Then it displays a page titled, "Let's get some additional info about you".  On that page it has both children listed beneath a question that reads, "Who lives with you?"  They both live with me but only one is eligible (I don't know why it even asks this question because them living with me or not is irrelevant in this case).  Whether I check both or only the eligible child, TurboTax is checking the option under Part VII of the Dependent and Nondependent Information Worksheet form that reads, "Would you like to sign up for a Trump Account?"  It is doing this for the ineligible child.  If run the review again then it says there's an error and presents the applicable form, at which time I uncheck it and click "Continue".  Then it goes through this same sequence and puts me in an infinite loop. 

Some digging in forums has confirmed that this is a known bug.  How bugs this obvious get past Q/A I'll never know, but I need guidance on what to do because I can't file my taxes and also open a Trump Account for my eligible child.
