Foreign address in W2

[shirley-y-chan]

I am asked by Turbo Tax to fix the state code of my address in W2, but my address is a foreign address in Hong Kong.  State code and zip code are simply not applicable as they are also left blank in my actual W2  in paper form.  I have e-filed with Turbo Tax the same way in the prior year.   It was never a problem before.  

My foreign address has also been the same as the previous year.  I am not sure why Turbo Tax is asking me to "fix" it this time.  Please help me to address this issue.

Try doing 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 okay 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 long and needs scrolling.
