Sometimes it will say there is a "zip code error" when it's actually something else wrong with the address, such as state or city.  

 

Be sure you didn't choose the wrong state abbreviation in any dropdown menu.   It's easy to select wrongly from states such as AK, AL, AR, AZ or MA, ME, MI, MO, MS, etc.

 

TurboTax also sometimes doesn't like punctuation.  Try entering the address without any punctuation, such as

1234 N St Marys Ave

 

Also check the exact official styling of the address at the USPS site:
