Has anyone had an issue using your child's university's zip code from the 1098-T tuition statement when filing your taxes using Turbo Tax?

The Federal review keeps highlighting the zip code on the schools 1098-T looking for a different code, but this is what the filer submitted, consequently is preventing me from e-filing and having to mail my return now.

Double check your entries on the Form 1098-T.  It is possible that you entered the zip code correctly, but the state may be incorrect. 

 

If everything is correct, try looking up an alternate address for the school to see if there is perhaps another zip code listed, or use the following link to check the zip code associated with the address on the Form 1098-T:  Look up a ZIP Code
