Get out of the review and go back to the w-2 and edit the form there.   It is the two letter state code that needs editing, most likely.   But you can't change it in the review, you have to go back to the w-2 and edit it there.   Search for W-2, then use the jump to link and edit the DFAS w-2.  

 

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.
