Does the address on my W-2 have to match tax return?
If what you enter in the program doesn’t match the copy of the W-2 your employer sent to the IRS, this will delay your return and may result in an audit. The address on your W-2 has nothing to do with the address you entered under the “personal information” tab. It’s a totally and completely separate thing.
