Are The Five Tips for Taxpayers Making a Move :
 |
To
Change Your Address: You can change your address
on file with the Internal Revenue Service in several ways:
| •
Correct the address legibly on the mailing label that
comes with your tax package; |
| •
Write the new address in the appropriate sections on
your income tax return; |
| •
Use Form 8822, Change of Address, to submit an address
or name change any time during the year; |
| •
Give the Internal Revenue Service written notice of
your new address by writing to the Internal Revenue
Service center where you file your income tax return.
Include your full name, old and new addresses, Social
Security Number or Employer Identification Number and
signature. If you filed a joint return, be sure to include
the information for both taxpayers. If you filed a joint
return and have since established separate residences,
both taxpayers should notify the Internal Revenue Service
of your new addresses; and |
| •
Should an Internal Revenue Service employee contact
you about your account, you may be able to verbally
provide a change of address. |
|
|
Notify
Your Employer: Be sure to also notify your employer
of your new address so you get your W-2 forms on time.
|
|
Notify
the Post Office: If you change your address after
you’ve filed your return, don’t forget to notify
the post office at your old address so your mail can be
forwarded.
|
|
Estimated
Income Tax Payments: If you make estimated income
tax payments throughout the year, you should mail a completed
Form 8822, Change of Address, or write the Internal Revenue
Service office where you file your income tax return. You
may continue to use your old pre-printed payment vouchers
until the Internal Revenue Service sends you new ones with
your new address. However, do not correct the address on the
old voucher.
|
| |
Postal
Service: The Internal Revenue Service does use the
Postal Service’s change of address files to update taxpayer
addresses, but it’s still a good idea to notify the
Internal Revenue Service directly. |
