How do I clear an error message in Turbotax Business regarding the name of the Signing Officer on Texas state return?

Turbotax Business flags an error on the first name of the signing officer for my Texas Franchise Tax return.

The name is correct.  As entered on the Federal return:  First name (space)Middle Initial(space)Last Name

Turbotax says I cannot have a space after the last letter of the first name. The space is there followed by the Middle Initial.  These must match how the returns have previously been submitted in prior years.  How do I clear this error message?

nevermind. figured it out. you need to go into the federal return where you entered the name originally and remove the space at end there.
