What do I need to do to change my address with the IRS?

Changing your address with the IRS is a fairly simple process. In California, the process begins by filling out Form 8822, the “Change of Address” form. This form can be found on the IRS website or you can pick up a copy from a local IRS office. On Form 8822, you’ll need to provide your name and Social Security number. You’ll also need to list your old address and your new address. The form will also ask for your daytime phone number and your new mailing address, if different from your physical address. Once you have completed the form, make sure to sign and date it. Then, you’ll need to mail it to the appropriate IRS office, which can be found on the form. It’s important to remember that if you’re filling out Form 8822 while you’re filing a federal tax return, you must enter your new address on the tax return as well. If you fail to enter your new address on both Form 8822 and the tax return, the IRS won’t be able to contact you at the new address. If you’ve already filed your return, you can still change your address by filing Form 8822 separately. However, make sure to note on the form that it is an “after-filing” change of address so that the IRS can properly process it.
