Cannot change recipient country error

In the final federal check I have an error (repeated multiple times) concerning the recipient's address as being a foreign country. It is not a foreign country. It is a US address.

The data in question was downloaded by TurboTax directly from the broker.

In the entry error screen ("Check this Entry") the recipient's street address is correctly entered by TurboTax. But

- the state and zip code fields are both blank

- and the foreign country field is pink.

The check entry text says:

Schedule B - Form 1099-DIV (broker's name): Recipient State should be blank. You have indicated a foreign address for this recipient.

But the recipient's address is not a foreign address. It is in the US.

I've tried to correct this error by

a) filling in the correct state and zip code fields

b) changing the 'foreign country' field to "Not applicable" because there is no US option available to select. But the error keeps popping up on the next check.

How do I correct this? The entire address is a US address.

work.......

I made a backup of the TurboTax file and on that backup I deleted the 1099 div form as suggested both here and in that link above. All that did is eliminate the entire dividend download and mess up the bottom line.

This is a TurboTax bug and needs to be corrected asap.

Here's a screen shot.

It sounds like the problem came from importing the document.

I suggest you delete and try again, or if possible, manually type it in .

For TurboTax Desktop, switch to Forms (Upper right corner)
To Delete a Form using TurboTax Online:
Select Tax Tools on the left side-bar
Select Tools from that drop-down
Select “Delete a form” on the TOOLS CENTER screen
Select the Form 1099-B and delete
re-enter the 1099-B
