program keeps asking for a value in box 17, even though there is no box 17 on my actual form

if you edit the 1099 (Wages & Income / I'll Choose What to Work on / Interest on 1099-INT etc), there should be a checkbox on the screen to show all the boxes.  I'm guessing this was imported which sometimes has this issue, you probably have a zero in box 17 so it's asking for an ID for box 16.  Try to delete the zero figure in Box 17 and leave it blank.  If that doesn't work try to re-input the 1099-INT manually from scratch and delete the old one causing the error.

If you imported the 1099-INT, delete it and enter it manually.

1. Open or continue your return.
2. Go to 1099-INT interest income.
3. Select Yes on the screen Did you receive any investment income? then Continue.
   • If you see the screen Your investments & savings or Here's your 1099-INT info, select Add investments or Add another 1099-INT, then Continue.
4. On the next screen, select how you want to enter your Form 1099-INT:
   • If you want to upload a copy of your form or manually enter the info, select Enter a different way, and follow the instructions to enter your 1099-INT.
