State tax filing
You have to go back to the form with the error and edit it - the 2 letter state code must be for the correct state and must match the zip code. Otherwise, you will get an e-file error. @jrumisek95
If it is a W-2, search for w-2, use the jump to link, find your form from the summary and edit the form.
Check the 2-letter state code for that zip code. Make sure the city and state match up to the zip code. This error happens when the state code doesn't match what is on file with the IRS. TurboTax follows the IRS for acceptable zip codes. If the state code does not match the correct state, you will get an e-filing error. Correcting the state code is usually the fix.
- Check that the 2 letter state abbreviation is correct here USPS Two–Letter State and Possession Abbreviations (most common error)
- Make sure you've entered the ZIP code in either 5-digit or 9-digit format, for example, 12345 or 12345-6789.
- Look up the correct ZIP code for the street address in question.
