If I changed my W2 home address because I moved after working there, will that be an issue on my taxes?

So I'm not sure if this will cause a problem but before I stopped working at a Campus job (I had updated the address in my school system to receive my diploma at my new location because I could only get a physical copy) I didn't realize it'd change the employee address on my W2 as well, which if I would've requested a paper copy of that too it would've went there. Will this cause a problem for me? Do I need to amend anything and use my old VA address? The state box says VA but the address is for NC where I moved. I don't want them to think that W2 is subject to NC taxes all because of an address when it shouldn't be.

When you enter your address in My Info make sure you are using the address where you live NOW and want to receive mail from the IRS or state.   People move and change addresses all the time.  The address on your W-2 has no effect on your tax return.   Just make sure your Social Security number is correct and that you enter the information from all of the boxes on the W-2 correctly.
