Daughter away at college, same state California, she put temporary college address on W4,so W2 now shows it. Does she need to have changed to our permanent home address?

Permanent home address is on all other items, Drivers License, Voter Registration, Etc...

If she used her temporary college address on her W-2 she can simply enter the permanent home address on her tax return. There will not be an issue if the address on your federal tax return is different then the address on her W-2. The tax return address is one that will be used if the IRS every needs to contact her for any reason.
