Question

Turbo Tax Free won't let me proceed because it thinks I have a foreign account, but I don't. Suggestions on how to clear this message?

i even cleared my data and re-entered everything (2 W2s and 1 1099INT) and same message. The software only allows me to upgrade to Turbo Tax Deluxe.

    Two places to look:

    1. After you enter the income, the program asks if you have a foreign account before moving on to deductions. Return to the income section and hit done, go through those questions and answers again.

    2. You have a 1099-INT. It may contain foreign income. Your investments could have been invested anywhere in the world and you may have have foreign income. Review your 1099-INT looking for foreign income.
