Question

I can't change the employee address on the W-2, and it's getting flagged in review

My employer is US based, but my address on my W-2 is a foreign country. In the review process, it says that the W-2 employee zip-code and state code aren't valid for the US (which is true, as it's a foreign address), and won't let me proceed. However, there doesn't appear to be any way to tell TurboTax that the employee address is not in the US, or to change the employee address.

    For the W2 entry, there should be an Address Type Drop Down where you can indicate it is a foreign address- see below.

    That's for marking the employer's address as a foreign address. I need to be able to mark the employee's address as a foreign address.

    In TurboTax you do not have to enter the employee address that is on the W2.  TurboTax uses the address in the Personal Info section because the IRS does not require it for efile. @raziel
