1099 MISC Schedule E unable to enter 0 for royalty income

Before I am able to submit my 2020 return the system indicates I need to enter a value for my "Royalty income from form 1099-Misc" This is per Schedule E worksheet line 4-1099 misc. While I do have a rental with the rental income listed correctly on line 3, my royalty income is 0 per my provided 1099 misc from my management company. Thus I am stuck, I have no royalty income but the system won't let me say I have 0 royalty income.

Delete the 1099-MISC and re-enter it anew. Leave box 2 completely blank. Do not enter even so much as a space for block 2.

THANK YOU SO MUCH @MaryM428! You saved my bacon with this post. I called in for help and spoke to 2 different agents who were unable to provide a workable solution and kept referring me to generic 1099-misc entry guides. Deleting the 1099-MISC forms related to my oil and gas royalty property and going back through the wizard got me past the looping correction errors and allowed me to e-file.
