How do I change the "Recipient's address" on my 1098 form?

Does Turbo Tax not allow you to change the "Recipient's address" on my 1098 form? When I uploaded my 1098 form, it incorrectly put my state address as OR, when it is actually CA, and then said there was an error in my zip code (since it was not an OR zip). I was not able to correct the state address to CA (see grayed-out boxes in the 1098 form). This error would not allow me to submit my taxes electronically.

Delete the form and re-upload it.

I deleted and uploaded twice, and it still loaded the wrong state and correct zip code (which did not match and caused an error). There should be a way to edit the address/State, or manually enter. Maybe check the parsing code for the forms on state. 

I had to enter a zip code for OR to get the form to not error as a work around. Probably not critical to the IRS, however, it would have saved me 45 minutes (multiple errors, efile would not work, deleting and uploading twice) to be able to edit the state.

I'm dealing with this right now too. It keeps getting the wrong address and its driving me crazy.

If you imported your 1098, you can delete it and re-enter it manually.   Here's How to Update or Delete Imported Data.

When you indicate in TurboTax that a form belongs to a taxpayer, it defaults to the address you entered in the Personal Info section (current address).  If the form has an old address, that won't affect your return; the IRS knows that people move.

If you're using TurboTax Desktop, in FORMS mode you can change the address directly on the form.

Thanks @MarilynG1 , that was the solution. I had to completely delete 1098 under "Documents" and then when entering 1098, I chose to "Enter Myself" like you suggested.
