My W2 is from a canadian company

I cannot seem to proceed with the TurboTax online software because it does not recognize that the W2 from the company i work for has a Canadian address.  Is there any solution to this?

My W2 is from a canadian company

On the W-2 input screen, you have to make sure that you've checked "Other" rather than "US Address" when you're entering your Canadian employer's address.  Then you also need to make sure that "Foreign Address" is checked rather than "APO, FPO, or DPO".

Once you check "Foreign Address" the address boxes change to accommodate the foreign style.  If these boxes aren't checked properly, then TurboTax will be thinking there should be a state & zip code when there isn't one, and you'll get an error.
