When I try to file my returns and it asks me what address I want my tax refund check sent to, it shows my zip code as xxxxxxxxx with no dashes in it. Is this ok? USA

Yes, aas long as your zip code is correct, it is okay.  To check/correct your zip code in TurboTax select Intuit Account from the lower left side of your screen, select Edit next to your address to correct your zip code.

Did you ever get confirmation on this? I'm having the same issue. (I've also tried editing my address as suggested, but it doesn't update it.)

Even though my desktop worksheets have the hyphen, on an actual printout (or Print Preview PDF) my Form 1040 zip code has no hyphen.   Also the Form 1040 in Forms Mode has the hyphen, but the actual printout or preview PDF of it doesn't have it.

My issue is that in the actual forms I'm trying to submit it shows up without the hyphen, and it won't let me edit it in the forms. The only way is to change it through accounts, and even though I've changed my account info more than once, it doesn't reflect in the forms.

What form are you referring to?   I looked at printouts of my Form 1040 for the last 7-8 years.  The IRS made a change on the Form 1040 starting in tax year 2020.    Prior to 2020, in the address section at the top of the Form 1040, the city/state/zip code were all shown together on one line, and the zip code contained a hyphen.   However, starting in 2020, the IRS began putting a dedicated zip code box on the Form 1040, and when they did that, my zip code on the 2020 Form 1040 for that year and all subsequent years have all had 9 numbers with no hyphen.   This is true even when I have a hyphen in the zip-code on the Federal Information Worksheet.   My returns were prepared in desktop TurboTax, but I suspect this is true for everyone who prints out a Form 1040.

Are you trying to change your mailing zip code to 5 digits on your return?   The way to change your address on your return is in the My Info/Personal Info section of the interview where a screen asks the user outright what to use for one's mailing address.   It will accept a 5 digit zip code there.   The box there will even accept a 9-digit zip code with the hyphen.   But, as indicated in this thread, when it comes to printing out an actual Form 1040, apparently the hyphen is not used.   At least that's been my experience in the desktop product ever since the IRS changed the 1040 address layout in tax year 2020.   (I'm not using the online version, so I'm not able to test print an actual Form 1040 in Online TurboTax.)
