I already posted this yesterday but it seems like it did not go through. I cannot file my taxes for free because it keeps telling me "You have a financial account in a foreign country." I do NOT have one, and i keep clicking NO when i go to other tax situations and the foreign acct part comes up. What does it think is foreign????

Clear your tax return and start over. Make sure that you do not enter anything that would require a foreign account.

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2024 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

What happened for me was TurboTax incorrectly imported my 1099-INT to have the "FATCA filing" checkbox checked. What's stupid is even when I fixed the mistake the software still thought I had to upgrade to file so I had to completely start over.
