How do I get the form to accept the zip code in my college address? It keeps saying I need to fix it

It is probably the state code that does not match the zip code.   If you are in the review, exit and go back to the education section and edit the 1098-T (or other doc) you are entering.    

 

Check the 2-letter state code for that zip code.   Make sure the city and state match up to the zip code.  This error happens when the state code doesn't match what is on file with the IRS.  TurboTax follows the IRS for acceptable zip codes.  If the state code does not match the correct state, you will get an e-filing error.   Correcting the state code is usually the fix.
