Smart Check error

Smart Check flagged 5 errors, all saying "Box 8 should have a value on the 1099-DIV" while the Brokerage form says "See Detail". TT shows "spaces" in the Imported 1099-DIV but not sure how I can choose "spaces" from the drop down in Box 8 in Scheduled B - Form 1099-DIV to get rid of the mismatch message. Thank you for the guidance!

Box 8 needs to be filled out with the foreign country or U.S. territory listed on your 1099-DIV.  You should have the option to select a country from the dropdown options. If you have more than one country listed on your brokerage statement, then you can select various for the non-RIC listings.

I hope that answers your question.  Please give a thumbs up if you like the response.
