By admin on December 10, 2011
I moved out of state and but continued working with the same employer. My W-2 has my previous address on it but when I e-filed I put down my now permanent address. I now think I might have made a mistake by doing that.
Is there anything that could go wrong if my W-2 and return have different addresses?
So should I have put down the address thats on my W-2?

None on the federal return.
You may have an issue with your resident and non-resident state returns.
It is fine. Only the social security number and name needed to match. The addresses do not have to match. If a person moves after the W-2 is printed and before they file, then the addresses cannot match.
Not a problem. Just be sure the address on your return itself is your current address.
Dear LeeLee: It happens all the time and make sure your current address is on your return. If the IRS needs to mail you anything you want your correct address registered with the IRS.
The state issue is different as you may need to file in both states if they both have an income tax. Dates lived in each state are important. Your W2 should indicate both states on the bottom of the W2.
