No, you want to use your current mailing address on the tax return, even if it does not match what is entered on the W2s.

Don't put your dependent's income on your tax return.

I will use MY Address for my tax return, even though she's a dependent.  BUT, she needs to file her own tax return and now lives out of state.   Question is should she use HER CURRENT ADDRESS on tax return even though I am claiming her, and her licence, bank, etc have not changed yet?

Yes, you dependent will enter her current mailing address, unless she knows she is only there temporarily.  It needs to be an address she will be able to get mail if the IRS must contact her.  You can and should also do a change of address with the IRS whenever you move.
