That's not completely clear, and it's not known what particular form or screen you are referring to.  TurboTax has several places where an address might be required.

 

Although the statement is confusing, I'll go ahead and assume the correct address is supposed to be for Massachusetts.  MA is the abbreviation for Massachusetts, and 02090 is a Massachusetts zip code.    So I'll assume "Maine" has nothing to do with it, so I don't know how Maine (ME) even came up.  

 

In any case, TurboTax can say something is wrong with the "zip code", even when a zip code is correct if there is actually something else wrong in the address, such as the wrong town or a problem with the street.   So in addition to the abbreviation MA, check all other items in the address.

 

Be sure you are not using any punctuation in the address.

 

Look up the official address at the USPS website to see the correct USPS styling for the address:

You have to go back to whatever screen where you originally entered that address, and change it there. For example, to edit the W-2, go to Federal > Wages and Income.
