I uploaded a 1099-INT, it is asking me to select a state but Texas isn't an option in the dropdown menu. Any ideas why?

If you're trying to complete the state tax section (boxes 15–17), Texas isn't in the dropdown because Texas doesn't have a personal state income tax. You can leave those boxes blank.

Thanks! It looks like it autofilled 0.00 dollars in the amount section, which requires you to select a state. Deleting the $0.00 allowed me to proceed without selecting a state. Thanks again!
