I live in Ohio and attend online classes from New Hampshire. Turbo Tax will not let me file electronically because the zip code is not in Ohio. I filed last year fine and was attending the same school.

Error: Student Info Worksheet: School zipcode is invalid. You must enter a valid zipcode for your state.

I don't have a school zipcode for Ohio because the school is online from a school in New Hampshire.

Please advise.

If you are having an error with the school zip code after inputting your 1098-T, please take the following steps:

Go back to your 1098-T input and double check the state was listed as New Hampshire and not Ohio. The zip code must match the state.
If the state is correct, then try deleting your 1098-T and importing it.

  - TurboTax Online/Mobile: Go to 1098-T.
