I am filing a 1099-INT. TurboTax incorrectly pulled addresses from my scans and won't let me file until corrected, but TT only allows me to change the zip code. Help?

TurboTax says that the zip code does not match the state abbreviation. TT is allowing me to change the zip code, which actually is correct, but it is not allowing me to change the street address and state abbreviations, which are not correct. I do not see the option to edit this information under the Wages & Income section nor the final File edits.

You can delete the 1099s and enter them again Manually.  You don't even have to type in the address.  Just the payer name and amount.  At the screen How would you like to upload your 1099-INT, select Type it in myself.

Thank you! I was able to enter manually and submit!

This doesnt work for me at all I have no idea where its pulling the addresses from as I have deleted the documents and have nothing uploaded but it still puts in the incorrect addresses when I manually enter only the financial institution and interest income. Still puts incorrect addresses.

I use a desktop version so i don't know if this is available with online versions. if there is a file tab open it and scroll down to the line that says remove imported data. you can select what to remove.  then enter the1099 manually. all that is needed is payer's name and amount nothing else.

If you imported your 1099- INT, you can delete it and re-enter it manually.   Here's How to Update or Delete Imported Data.

When you indicate in TurboTax that a form belongs to a taxpayer, it defaults to the address you entered in the Personal Info section (current address).  If the form has an old address, that won't affect your return; the IRS knows that people move.

If you're using TurboTax Desktop, in FORMS mode you can change the address directly on the form.

@CatinaT1   They messed up the FAQ (they always do).  Did you check that link?  It now goes to how to import from QuickBooks at least for me.

You may still need to delete the 1099-INT that was imported.

If you're still not able to import your 1099, you can always enter it manually.   Select Type it in myself and proceed.   

Go back to the Personal/My Info section and update your address.   TurboTax pulls your address for manually entered forms from there.

Import Troubleshooting

Check the 2-letter state code for that zip code.   Make sure the city and state match up to the zip code.  This error happens when the state code doesn't match what is on file with the IRS.  TurboTax follows the IRS for acceptable zip codes.  If the state code does not match the correct state, you will get an e-filing error.   Correcting the state code is usually the fix.  

• Check that the 2 letter state abbreviation is correct here USPS Two–Letter State and Possession Abbreviations   (most common error)
• Make sure you've entered the ZIP code in either 5-digit or 9-digit format, for example, 12345 or 12345-6789.
• Look up the correct ZIP code for the street address in question.
