TurboTax automatically checked the box that I had a foreign account on both my federal and state return. I checked no regarding all the other questions regarding a foreign account. I already filed and the IRS accepted my federal return. I do not have a foreign account. Can I leave it how it is since my return was already accepted? My state return is still pending as I just filed yesterday.

    Yes, you do not have to amend your return to correct this error, since it will not change your tax due.  Also, it is harmless error, as you can only get in trouble for NOT reporting the foreign accounts if you have them, not for saying you have them when you did not.
