Question

Why when I go to view my returns under Part III, 7a on Interest and Ordinary Dividends, it checks "Yes" when I answered "no"

I keep going back and selecting NO to "Do you have any foreign financial assets?" When I go back to the page it reappears as "Yes" and it shows up on the return that way.

     First check to see if you have a 1099 INT or 1099 DIV.  If there is a foreign tax paid amount reported in Box 6 of a 1099 INT or Box 7 in your 1099 DIV, then you may have a foreign account that you are not aware of. There are follow-up questions in those forms that you need to complete. If this isn't the issue, then perform the following steps to remove this error message so you can file your return.
