I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to describe, so if what follows doesn't help, please reply with some clarifying info...
The address you enter in your return is your mailing address, i.e where you'd want any correspondence from the CRA to be mailed. Your mailing address has no impact on the calculation of your return, but we do currently have a limitation where we don't permit the entry of an address outside Canada.
Most non-residents don't have a Canadian mailing address. Since non-residents are required to print and mail their tax returns, we advise users in that situation to enter any valid Canadian address in TurboTax just to get past that step, and then when they print their return, cross out and write in your actual mailing address.
If you have a Canadian mailing address, great! Just enter it in; you won't need to make any corrections when you print your return.
It's the province you enter (where TurboTax askes what province you lived in on Dec 31) that has an impact on how your taxes are calculated. If you're a non-resident, enter non-resident.
A word of caution though: some people who emigrated from Canada during the tax year incorrectly enter their status as non-resident. Technically, if you left Canada during the tax year, you were actually considered a part-year resident and should enter the Canadian province you lived in on your last day in Canada. When you do this, TurboTax will then prompt you for the date of departure, so it can properly calculate your taxes for the part of the year you were a resident.
