Can't fix error "You have entered information for the federal tuition and education amounts"?

When I review my return, I keep getting this error. $0 is the correct amount, but it still flags as an error with no obvious way to fix it.

If it is a “Warning”, and not an actual “Error”, if the information is correct, you can choose to ignore it.

 

If you had tuition form a T2202A or TL11 slip, you can also double check that you have entered everything correctly on that page. It would be under Deductions & Credits > Students > T2202A summary, and then edit your T2202A. The bottom portion will have the section for the provincial portion of the tuition fees.

No, it is not a warning, it's being flagged as an error by turbotax and it will not let me do netfile because of the error. I have an T2202A and it has been entered correctly.

I figured it out. My T2202A has 8 months listed for B, but you cannot enter more than 4 in turbo tax, otherwise you get an error.
