FWIW I had the wrong US state on my passport for a long time. Not sure how that happened but it didn't cause any issues traveling at all.

I called the national passport line for advice about this when renewing, and they said to mail in the correction form the other commenter linked along with the renewal form. I also included a letter explaining that I wanted the passport renewed, but that it had my wrong birth state, and I wanted that corrected along with the renewal.

I think I included my birth certificate showing where I had actually been born, also, but I don't really remember. I'd call the State Department national hotline to see what they suggest: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/contact-us/passpo...
