Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You won't be able to edit the 1099-INT from the ''review'' screen, but you can go into the actual form and change the state code there.   

 

To edit the state abbreviation for a 1099-INT form, you can follow these steps in TurboTax:

  1. Open your tax return in TurboTax.
  2. Search for 1099-INT with the magnifying glass tool on the top of the page.
  3. Select the Jump to 1099-INT in the search results.
  4. Click Edit next to the 1099-INT that you need to edit.
  5. Change the two-letter state code and click continue.

@bluepicayune   You can also delete the 1099-INT and re-enter it manually if you continue to have difficulty with editing.   There will be a trash can icon or a delete button next to the problematic form.  

 

TurboTax follows the IRS guidelines for acceptable ZIP codes. If the 2-letter state abbreviation does not match the ZIP code, you will receive an error when attempting to e-file.  99% of the time it is because the state abbreviation is wrong, so double-check that first.   Also, you may need to go back to the actual form to change the state code if the error pops up in the ''review'' process.   You can usually edit the zip code during the review, but not the state code.  

 

Should you receive this error:

  1. Double-check that you entered the correct 2-letter state code. (click the link to verify)
  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.   Use the correct zip code if different.
