Entered wrong address

After doing my taxes, I also used TurboTax to do my mother-in-law's taxes. I wasn't paying close enough attention, and TurboTax used my address on her return. I discovered this after e-filing her federal return, but before sending her state return, which has to be filed on paper because she no longer has a state-issued ID. I can change the address and print the relevant page before mailing the state return.

 

My question: Do I need to file an amended federal return for the change of address or can I just let it go? FWIW, It's a fairly straightforward return.

You don't need to amend for that.  It's probably ok to leave it.  The address is mainly where you want any letters from the IRS to come.

Glad to hear it! I'd want to get any correspondence from the IRS, so I'll leave it as is.
