I have a mutual fund that invested in a security for international stock....

When filing taxes online, I am receiving this message:

"At any time during 2022, did you have an interest in (or a signature or other authority over) a financial account in a foreign country, such as a bank account, securities account, or other financial account?"

I own a mutual fund I opened in the UNITED STATES that has a security in international stock and earned foreign income and had foreign income taxes withheld. What do I mark the answer as? When I sign in my mutual fund account, I can go to that foreign security when I go to positions on the site and the interntational stock is ironically under mutual funds.

The IRS says, 

A financial account is located in a foreign country if the account is physically located outside of the United States. For example, an account maintained with a branch of a United States bank that is physically located outside of the United States is a foreign financial account. An account maintained with a branch of a foreign bank that is physically located in the United States isn't a foreign financial account.

That is, your US-owned and operated mutual fund does not become a foreign financial account because the fund contains foreign stocks.

You do not have a bank account, securities account, or other financial account in a foreign country. You have a stock in your mutual fund account. The answer is NO.
