Cannot correct zip code on1099-R. Keep saying it is not valid.

I put in my the payer zip code and it keep saying: Form 1099-R: Payer's zip is invalid for Electronic Filing. You must enter a valid ZIP code for your state. Enter a correct ZIP code in this format 'nnnnn' or 'nnnnn-nnnn'. 

 

I tried "50392-0001" and "50392" as zip code and it would still give me that error. It would come up during the smart check run and at the end where I tried to filed. I cannot submit electronic filing because of it. Using the mac version of TurboTax.

Cannot correct zip code on1099-R. Keep saying it is not valid.

My suggestion would be to try deleting this 1099-R entirely and re-entering or re-importing it, since that is a valid zip code. To delete a 1099-R using TurboTax Desktop, follow these navigating steps:

 

  1. Go to Wages & income
  2. Scroll to IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)
  3. Select [Add/Edit]
  4. Identify the record you want to delete
  5. Select the trash can on the right
  6. Are you sure you want to delete this 1099-R? - Yes

Then follow the navigation steps to 3. to add it again, and see if the error is resolved.
