Turbotax ask to enter a US ZIP and State in the W2 employee fields. But I have a foreign address in my W2. How could I solve this?

My W2 has my foreign address, but turbotax does not allows to select foreign country in the employee section. It requires US ZIP code and US State.

There should be a drop-down option for you to select "Foreign Address" and then you can also select a Foreign Country.  See screenshot

Hello, I have the same problem. But it will not let me click on the drop down menu eventhough it's marked in white. Do you have any other ideas what I could do for TurboTax to recognize my foreign adress on my W-2 ?

First delete the W-2 and try again. 

 

Next, do you have a foreign address in the MY INFO tab ? 

 

Last ... the address on the W-2 employee or employer section is immaterial ... you can enter any address since it doesn't matter... this info is NOT sent to the IRS with your return.  The only thing on the W-2 that must be correct and the IRS checks is the employer EIN.
