How do I fix TurboTax incorrectly categorizing 1099-INT as a 1099-R?

I scanned the QR code with my phone to upload data on my 1099-INT. TurboTax thinks it is a 1099-R. It is not letting me complete my taxes as it says I need to put additional information in the 1099-R that I don't have.

Can you enter it manually? I understand it should work and doesn't, but it might be quicker to enter manually.

I've tried that, and deleted the 1099-R that the online version "sees", and then re-entered everything manually. I click on the 1099-INT and fill in the information, and it still thinks it's a 1099-R.
