I have a client who received a W2-G for lottery winnings of $1000. I completed the form and when I did the Federal final review, I received 4 errors. The first error stated "both foreign and domestic address elements are present. Please check all winner address fields for accuracy" I checked everything and found no problems. I called support and they were not able to figure it out. They just told me how to override the errors in order to file the return.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Thank you

I posted about this as well. Coyote55 gave the solution to enter the information on Payer 2 and leave Payer 1 blank. It worked!!

Yes. I have a client who has just 1 w2g and after filling out the worksheet I received the same error message. How did you override?

Use the payer 2 column and remove the information from payer one and the error goes away.

Yes, that seems to be the fix. Lets hope IRS doesn't start looking for the another w2g.

I experienced this error (four error messages) this morning. Could not correct it. I efiled return with disabled error checking. Return transmitted successfully and was accepted by IRS in approximately 10 minutes. Intuit needs to fix this glitch asap.

How do you override the error checking?

You have to efile from the EF center not from inside the individual return. When selecting efile now the electronic filing options screen shows up. At the bottom is a box enable conversion error checking. Uncheck this box and returns can be filed with error warnings.
