If this is an incorrect address on your W-2:
Don't worry if your mailing address on your W-2 form is wrong or has since changed; this won't affect your taxes. Just make sure you've entered your current mailing address in the Personal Info section of TurboTax.

For an incorrect employer address:
If you have the correct EIN (Employer Identification Number), the IRS should be able to correct this. Rather, what the IRS, and your state department of revenue (if applicable) will really be looking at is your employer's EIN - the nine-digit number in the format XX-YYYYYYY that you should see on your W-2 or 1099-MISC. You can think of an EIN as (roughly) a Social Security Number identifier for businesses. This is the most important piece of information from your W-2, other than your own Social Security Number and the actual wage and income taxes withheld figures.

If this is an incorrect address on a return you submitted:
It is possible to complete Form 8822 with the IRS for a change of address. The form would need to be filled out online and then mailed into the IRS, however generally mailed forms take 3 to 6 weeks to process and electronically filed returns take up to 21 days. There is a high probability the IRS will issue your refund before updating your address.
