I am ready to file, but TurboTax keeps telling me the zip code is wrong. It’s correct. How do I override this and file?!

I have a w2G for winnings and used the zip on the form. I have also double checked it online.

Try the steps in this help article:

You may receive a message like:

ZIP code is invalid for Electronic Filing. You must enter a valid ZIP code for your state. Enter a correct ZIP code in this format 'nnnnn' or 'nnnnn-nnnn'

TurboTax follows the IRS guidelines for acceptable ZIP codes. If the two-letter state abbreviation doesn't match the ZIP code, you'll receive this error when attempting to e-file.

Solution

If you receive this error:

• Double-check you entered the correct two-letter state code
• Make sure you've entered the ZIP code in either 5-digit or 9-digit format (for example 12345 or 12345-6789)
• Look up the correct ZIP code for the street address in question

Thank you but I have done all of that over and over and it keeps coming up incorrect.  I think the Luxor Hotel knows their zip!  How can I override this and file?

I would suggest that you delete the entire W-2G and repost it manually.

On the menu in the sidebar on the left.              

Select Tax Tools

• Tip: You may have to minimize tabs for both Federal & State

1. On the drop-down select Tools
2. On the Pop-Up menu select Delete a Form
3. This will give you all of the forms in your return
4. Scroll down to the form you want to delete
5. Select the Form W-2G
6. Click on Delete.

How do I enter a W-2G?
