To enter a W-2 with an employer's address not in the United States:

 In the section on the TurboTax form W-2 for employer name is a box labeled Address Type.  

Click on the dropdown and choose  Foreign Address .  

You will be able to enter a City, Province, Postal Code and Country.

I wanted to add to what TurboTaxNancyG stated above as, in my situation, I was still a bit confused.  I use the ability to download an ADP W-2 to kick-off my tax preparation.  However I have the same issue where the company I work for is based in Canada and thus W-2 reflects that.  Read a couple of responses here including this one.  Problem was, in the Wizard area, you cannot edit a downloaded W-2.

I found a couple of tricks to get around this:

Easiest was to click the "+ Add W-2" button which takes you to the "Here's your W-2 info".  Here you can now "Edit" the downloaded W-2.  Select "Other" for "Location" and then you can select "Foreign Address".

You can also click the "Forms" icon at the tope and locate the actual W-2 form in the listing on the left.

For both approaches above, in the "City" field enter "<city>, <province>, <postal code>" as each appears on your paper W-2 form.  For "Country" in the wizard, select the appropriate country.  "Canada" in my case.  On the form, put the country code, "CN" in my case, in the "Foreign Country" field.

I had the exact same issue, but before I saw this I already submitted my return. The company is called "LUSH COSMETICS NY LLC" so I put "NY" as the state and "10003" as the zip -- do I need to change my return? Everything else is correct like the employer code and such
