Foreign Zip Code Not Allowing Letters

[rctauber]

I have an employer with a Canadian address, and I selected foreign address and entered in zip code V6P-6M9 (Vancouver, BC). When I go to file, it won't let me have letters in the zip code because it says the format must be #####.

The solution is to

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.

Now you will see that the software has no problem with the Canadian zip code.
