Hello Connie,

The Country field appears when you have "Foreign Address" selected in the Address Type field. To resolve this, make sure you've selected "U.S. address" as the Address Type instead. Once you select "U.S. address," the Country field will no longer be required, and you'll be able to continue entering your W-2G information.
