On your W-2, try choosing the option of Address Type of "Military (APO, FPO, or DPO)", and see if the boxes change to what you need. The Address Type defaults to U.S. Address unless you change it.
We actually looked up a little more info and the numbers/letters seem to be the finance office’s code that the pay is processed through.
But even changing it to APO requires a city/state/zip. Will it be a problem if I just plug in our normal address? Or do we need to correct it through the military first?
Oh, good. Yes, just enter your normal address. Actually, the address that you enter on the W-2 isn't particularly important since the W-2 is tied to your Social Security number.
It is the address on your Personal Info or My Info that is important. This needs to be the address the IRS can reach at you at in case they need to mail you some communication.
Intuit refuses to let me submit my taxes because AE isn't a state. But when I upload my W-2 its ok with it being an FPO and everything but when it goes through the review segment it gets fixated on the AE isn't a State. How do I bypass this endless cycle of "AE isn't a State"?
Permission granted to just enter any stateside address on the W-2 input screen because IT DOESN'T MATTER AT ALL.
On the W-2 you entered for the employer's address did you change the Type of Address dropdown to APO, FPO or DPO?
