How do I edit the recipient address for my 1099-INT?

What do you mean?  YOU are the recipient.     Your address is entered in the personal information section.   That is what is sent to the IRS.

Yes, I am aware. Turbo Tax seemed to be importing my recipient address from an external source, I am guessing my financial institution, but imported the incorrect information. This was causing an issue that I was not able to rectify at first but not it was been resolved.

I am not sure what you mean.  The address is  not even part of the 1099-INT interview.  What exactally are you looking at to see that?

I have the same question.  The info was imported from my bank but in the Review, it asked for the recipients' zip code and I accidently entered the wrong zip code.  How do I correct it?

inputting the 1099-INT form manually doesn't let me enter any real information about the bank (no TIN, no bank address, etc). only the actual bank (i.e. "X Credit Union"). Does it not need this information?

No, this information does not get reported to any taxing authorities through your returns.  The information is matched up via your social security number.
