Use the address shown on your W-2 for entering your W-2 information. It doesn’t matter if it’s different than the mailing address you will use on your tax return. You need to enter your W-2 information as it appears on your W-2.
How far back can you file a W-2?
You cannot file a prior year’s W2, along with this year’s tax return. You must file it by amending that year’s tax return. There is a time limit on amending the return. You have three years from the date you filed your original tax return or two years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
Can I use my old address to file taxes?
You need to keep the address the IRS has on file for you current. Go to the IRS website and download IRS Form 8822, Change of Address, to update your address. Even if you’re filing for a previous year, you must use your current address — where you live and receive mail — on your return.
What if my W-2 has my old address?
Don’t worry if your mailing address on your W-2 form is wrong or has since changed; this won’t affect your taxes. Just make sure you’ve entered your current mailing address in the Personal Info section of TurboTax.

If you file your return with the wrong address, that can’t really be undone. You’ll need to contact the IRS directly to update your address (you can use their toll-free number: 1-800-829-1040). If your return(s) are rejected by the IRS, you can simply change your address before resending your tax return.
