If you changed your state of legal residence in 2021, then the only thing you need to update on your 2020 return is your "Mailing Address".

 

The IRS will use this mailing address for any correspondence they send you.

 

​​​​​​​Your "Mailing Address" is in the Personal Info interview of TurboTax. See the attached screenshots to see what the entries look like.
