I'm at the finish line for filing my taxes. Turbo Tax is holding me up because they say the payer address in my Merrill Lynch account is to long (over 35 characters). Do I shorten it or just leave it alone?

Can you shorten it by using an abbreviation --like "St." for "street" or "Ave." for "Avenue" etc?

The address is 1500 American Boulevard NJ2-150-01-13 Pennington NJ 4129, that underlined portion which is the payer street, Turbo say is too long. maybe I can see if I can abbreviate boulevard.

In fact, the IRS software verifies the data using the payer's EIN (Employer ID Number, otherwise known as Tax ID #] Fill in abbreviated, as you wish, name such as only Merrill Lynch and an abbreviated address.
