If my address changed for only part of the year in 2016, do I need to report that on any of my forms?

The answer to your question is that if you only (temporarily) changed your address at some point during the year, then no, you don't need to report that anywhere on your actual tax return, or in the TurboTax program interview.

In fact, if you (permanently) moved from one address to another within the same state, and did not change your state residency, then you don't need to indicate that either, on either your tax return or in TurboTax.  You would just use your current address as your taxpayer address in the relevant data entry field.

It is only where a taxpayer moves (again, permanently) from one state to another, does the address issue become relevant.  In such an instance, the taxpayer would have to file part-year resident returns in both states; but they would input their current mailing address in the address sections of both part-year resident returns, rather than use their prior address for their part year (former) state of residence.  After all, the point of telling the taxing authorities where you receive your mail is so that they can contact you, if necessary.
