Unable to select foreign country drop down box in Form 1099-INT

Hi,

I've been using Turbo Tax for 7 years and each year, including this year, I run into this same issue.   After importing the Form 1099-INT from E-trade, it always show the "Recipient State must be entered" error in the Form 1099-INT. 

I live in Sweden permanently.  When I clicked the Review button, it shows the Form 1099-INT  with my Swedish street address and city.  But it doesn't allow me to click on the Foreign country drop down box to select "Sweden".   It forces me to enter a two-letter code State which I don't have and an US zip code.   I tried TAB or click on the "Foreign Country" drop down box but it seems like the drop down box is not activated.   

 

In the past, I had to just select some random state in order to get through since I received no assistance from Turbo Tax.   

 

Could you please fix the issue with the "Foreign Country" box under "Additional Payer and Recipient Information section of the Schedule B -- Form 1099-INT?   

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

Will

Many thanks. 

 

I hope your team can fix the issue soon as I'm not able to e-file my tax as it forces me to enter a state and zip code which do not apply to me as I live in Sweden.

 

Cheers,

Will

Are you preparing a Canadian return or a US return?
