I'm active duty military stationed in Guam. I am not a Guam resident. When submitting the address for my child care provider (to flow to Form 2441), Guam is no longer an option (it was last year). Instead, I have to select "Foreign or U.S. Territory" - it cannot be left blank. The zip code cannot be left blank. When I submit, I get the error "Zip code does not match state seleced [sic]".
Yes, the zip code is correct. It is the same one I used on my 2023 return. Why the change?
I entered information without a zip code in the "Child and Dependent Care Credit" section and did not get an error.
Are you sure you are not getting an error about YOUR zip code?
I have seen that happen with military members, where I have not heard of any problems on Form 2441.
If that is the issue, return to the Personal Info section
Review your mailing address
If you select APO/DPO/FPO Address
FPO
AP - Armed Forces Pacific
the zip should be 96606

Let us know if this does not address your error issue
Hello,
I am having the same issue with the form 2441. My care provider is a military daycare in Europe. The address is an FPO, AE box but that is not an option in the drop down. When I select foreign or US territory, I get an error stating that the zip code and state do not match.
This error will not let me proceed. I can get out of the dependent child care section but it flags in the federal review and there is no way to move passed it.
