Hi,

 

My gambling winnings W2-G lists my old physical address, and my tax program assumes it's the same address as on my return. Does this mismatch matter? Thanks.

    No, it doesn't. People move.

    Great, thanks! The funny thing is, I tried the Freefile online version of TT, and it asks if it needs changing, but presumably that's just window dressing.

    Window dressing it is - let the program auto fill your current address and use that.   As long as it is your SSN on the W-2G, you are good to file.
