How do I get the Schedule B, Part III box for "do you have foreign accounts?" to check NO!

Part III 7a is checked "yes" and I can't figure out how to get Turbo Tax to check it "No". I'd like to manually change the form, or understand the prompts in the automated process to make the change.

    There are two ways to do this. Use the first method first and if that doesn't work, perform the second method.

     

    To remove this from your return:

     

    1. Open or continue your return in TurboTax.
    2. In the Search box (upper right hand side) type schedule b foreign accounts and trusts.
    3. Click the Jump to link in the search results.
    4. Answer None of the above to Tell Us About Any Foreign Bank Accounts.
    5. Click Continue.
    6. Answer None of the above to Tell Us About Any Foreign Trusts.
    7. Click Continue.
    8. Answer No, I don’t have foreign financial assets to Foreign Financial Assets.
    9. Click Continue
