 * Hi people,
 * I m in desperate need for help.
 * I get the error “postcode / ZIP is not formatted correctly.” My store is configured
   to sell only to the united states so the issue is with US postcodes.
 * When I deactivated the woocommerce tax plugin, I don’t have an issue anymore.
   However, I want to have this plugin live so it can auto-calculate the taxes for
   me.
 * P.s. I have not put my website in the details here because now it works, due 
   to the tax plugin being off.
 * Here is my sys configuration below:

 * Hi [@adig25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adig25/)
 * This could be due to incorrect settings in the WooCommerce Tax settings or a 
   conflict with another plugin. To better understand the situation, are you using
   a checkout block or shortcode on the checkout page?
 * Since this forum is dedicated to support related to the WooCommerce core plugin,
   I’d suggest posting in the [WooCommerce Shipping & Tax](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/)
   dedicated support forum for further help with this. Here is a direct link to 
   their support forum: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-services/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-services/)
 * We look forward to assisting you further.

 * Thanks a lot. I use jetwoobuilder plugin and used that to design the checkout
   page with their widget. They told me it’s not from their side.

 * Hey, [@adig25](https://wordpress.org/support/users/adig25/)!
 * Thanks for confirming!
 * As my colleague mentioned, this forum is excusive to the WooCommerce core plugin,
   so we can’t help with other plugins (even from us) here.
 * Can you please open a thread on the  [WooCommerce Shipping & Tax](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/)
   dedicated support forum, and include the link to this thread so we can continue
   to help you with this issue?
 * Have a wonderful day!
