If TurboTax is indicating that the ZIP code on your 1098-T is invalid for electronic filing, but you are sure it is correct, here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue:

  1. Double-check you entered the correct two-letter state code
  2. Make sure you've entered the ZIP code in either 5-digit or 9-digit format (for example 12345 or 12345-6789)
  3. Look up the correct ZIP code for the street address in question
