To get past this in TurboTax Online: 

  1. Select Tax Home in the left pane
  2. On the Hi, let's keep working on your taxes! screen, select the dropdown on the right side of the Income & Expenses box, then select StartContinue or Pick up where you left off
  3. Select the dropdown to the right of Less Common Investments and Savings (1099-OID, contracts and straddles, etc.
  4. Select Start or Revisit to the right of 1099-OID, Foreign Accounts
  5. Continue through the following screens, unselecting any boxes that might have been previously selected incorrectly

These instructions did not work for me.  I've been trying to deal with this for a couple of weeks. I've googled and looked on the forums.  No customer tech number, very frustrating. I even wiped the first attempt and started over thinking that would help.  But to no avail.  😞
