The company I work for is based out of canada so the address on my w2 has a canadian zip code (with letters) how can I still e file with this issue?

I work at a location in mesa, az but the headquarters is in canada.

Canada doesn't use zip codes.  It uses international postal codes.

When you entered the W-2, did you choose the option to enter a foreign address, so the data field would change to "Postal Code?"

See the screen image below which shows how to enter a W-2 that has a foreign employer address.
