The Employer Name that TurboTax imports automatically online is incorrect for the address that is listed. This has happened consistently for 8 years. What do I do?

If this has been happening for 8 years and you haven't had any notifications from the IRS, I'd imagine that it's okay.

However, you can always enter your W-2 information manually into the TurboTax program.  Just be sure that you enter the info EXACTLY as it appears on your tax document.  See the instructions below for manually entering your W-2.

First the employer address is not an issue as the IRS only looks at the EIN ... then the program can only import what the employer puts online to be imported ... check with the employer why the paper copy and the imported copy is different if you really care to know.
