Employer has foreign address, but I'm getting a "zip code not valid" error

I changed the address to "foreign address" on the W-2 and made sure the address matched, but it's still telling me that my zip code isn't valid for the state entered, and won't let me enter a foreign zip code.

Try the following:

1. Delete the W-2

2. When you add a new W-2, the screen will ask you for the employer’s EIN. DON’T PUT ANYTHING HERE.

3. Instead, just leave the EIN field blank and continue.

4. Enter your complete W-2 information on the next page. Make sure to indicate that this is a foreign address (under “Address Type”). It’s OK to enter the EIN here at the top of the page.

5. Be sure you enter everything from the W-2 – the input screen is rather long and needs scrolling.
