How do I update the address on a tax return after the return is e-filed?


If your address is wrong with the IRS, you need to fill out form8822 and mail it to them.

If you are using direct deposit, your refund won't be affected, but you may not get important correspondence from the IRS if you don't update your address.

Also, if there is any kind of problem with your direct deposit, the IRS mails a check to the address on file with the IRS.

 

It can take four to six weeks for a change of address request to fully process.

 

You may also notify the IRS by calling them atIndividual Help Line 800-829-1040 -7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time

They will need you to verify taxpayer identity and the address they have on file for taxpayer. Please have ready taxpayer:

full name

new address

old address

date of birth

Social Security number, ITIN or EIN

They may request additional information to verify taxpayer identity.
