In both the "My Info" section for your mailing address and in the W2 entries there is a box for "Address Type" that has drop down menu. There you can select the different types that pertain to you. You want your mailing address to be where you want to get mail concerning this return.

For your tax return Personal Information, you will enter your permanent mailing address. However, your W-2 should be entered exactly as it is in the Wages & Income area.

seems like TT doesn't clear the error if you enter a military address

The address where you can get mail from the IRS goes on your return. The address on your W2, goes in the W2 section.

I have this same question. My military address on my W2 is similar. However, TT is requiring me to enter a zip code and state, although there’s not one on my W2. How do I proceed?

Your permanent home address of record will go in the My Info section as your resident state.
You can also enter a mailing address for any correspondence.
In the section for your Form W- 2 titled OK, let's review your form and fill in any missing info click the drop down to Show Employee Information and enter your mailing address, which can be different from your home of record address.
