It keeps saying it's wrong, but Google and my document is providing 20783 for UMGC.

A Zip Code error in TurboTax can also occur if there is anything else wrong in the address, such as wrong city, wrong state abbreviation, etc.     For example, it's easy to mis-enter MD, MA, ME, MO, etc.

 

It also can occur with punctuation in the address.

If you have punctuation like 123 N. St. Mary's Ave. leave off any punctuation as in 123 N St Marys Ave

 

You can look up the official styling for that particular address at the US Post Office website.   Enter the address there, and it should show you the correct styling and zip code.
