The temporary mailing address on my W2 does not match the permanent address on my driver's license. Which address do I list for my taxes?

I recently graduated college and moved into an apartment. I haven't updated my permanent address yet

If the address is wrong on the taxpayer's W-2, he can simply enter an updated address on his tax return. There will not be an issue if the address on your federal tax return is different then the address on your W-2.  It is your tax return address that needs to be correct if the IRS ever needs to contact you for any reason.
