Sch B Line Box 7a automatically checked

[lancewgurel]

When a large 1099-INT causes Sch B to generate, Box 7a is automatically generated. 

Is there a option to NOT check the box automatically? I think it is a mistake to check the box without an affermative action.

For FBAR prior year filings, the existance of the checked Box 7a can be used as evidence that any failure to file prior year FBARs is willful.

There's a diagnostic informing you of that default treatment.

It's equally wrong to check yes or to leave the box blank, so it's not like there's a more-correct default.
