Filing while military overseas

Hi!

Filing from Okinawa, our W2 has our APO address and zip code.

Our state of record and our driver's licenses are WA.

Due to the zip code and state not matching, it will not let me e-file. It just brings up the page to 'fix' over and over. 

How do I fix this? Paper filing would take forever!

You can try entering your Washington address on the W-2 entry if you have one.

Thanks Thomas, but there is no Washington address on the W-2. I'm currently going back to last year's taxes and seeing if I did something different because we were in the same location/situation but this problem never popped up.

I realize there is no Washington address on the W-2 but if you have a Washington address, you can try entering that even though it isn't listed on the W-2 form. As long as the social security number and name are correct, the IRS will not be too concerned about the address.

Try to leave the state blank, and it should push through
