What should I select in the "state" section of the Employer address of W2 information if my employer listed a Canadian address on my W2? Worked in US but canadian biz

Company is based in Canada but operates within US also. The address listed on my W2 is their Canadian home office location. I believe they have a US location I can get the address for but then it will not match the W2 information

When entering your W-2, you need to change the dropdown box that defaults to U.S. Address.  

 

To do this in TurboTax Online you can follow these steps:

  1. Within your federal tax return in TurboTax Online go to Income & expenses
  2. If you have already started entering the W-2, click Edit/Add on the Job(W-2) line, if not, click Start
  3. If you have multiple W-2s entered, choose Edit next to the one you need to add the state withholdings to or Yes if you have not entered it yet.
  4.  Verify or enter who the W-2 is for and click Continue
  5. Enter the Employer Identification Number as shown on the W-2 and Continue
  6. Change the dropdown box that has defaulted to U.S. Address to Foreign Country
  7. Proceed entering/reviewing your return.
