why do I receive the incorrect location to get my code number for my two step verification

When I log into my apple account I do my ID then password and for me to get my numbers for the two step code I have to say I am ok with the location but what do I do if the location is from out of state and I am nowhere near that place. I need to get to get into my account to check if there was a purchase made to my acct. I don't see it on my phone that I did the purchase.

The location is based on the IP Address. If you have just set this up, then it may take some time for the location to sync.
