Tsp address entry

[schwartzdana]

Cannot enter the TSP zipcode on 1099-R form (Premier). It's "xxxxx-xxxx". Error says it "is invalid for Electronic Filing."

Get out of the review and go back to the actual 1099-R and update the state and zip code.  Check the 2-letter state code for that zip code (this is the issue 99% of the time).   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.
