Can i change my mailing address for my stimulus check
Yes, you can change your mailing address for your stimulus check. Here are the steps to follow:
For Direct Deposit:
If you have already set up direct deposit with the IRS, you can update your mailing address through the IRS's online tool, the "Get My Payment" portal. Here's how:
- Go to the IRS's "Get My Payment" portal at www.irs.gov/coronavirus/get-my-payment.
- Enter your Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), your date of birth, and your zip code.
- Click "Update" to access your account.
- Click on "Update Mailing Address" and enter your new mailing address.
- Click "Submit" to save the changes.
For Paper Check:
If you haven't set up direct deposit or prefer to receive a paper check, you can update your mailing address by:
- Contacting the IRS by phone: Call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 (Monday to Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time).
- Filling out Form 8822: Change of Address: You can download and print the form from the IRS website or request one by calling the IRS. Fill out the form and mail it to the IRS address listed on the form.
- Submitting a written request: You can also write a letter to the IRS, including your name, Social Security number or ITIN, and your new mailing address. Mail the letter to:
Internal Revenue Service Attn: Change of Address 1111 Constitution Ave NW Washington, DC 20224
Important:
- Make sure to update your mailing address as soon as possible to ensure that your stimulus check is sent to the correct address.
- If you're updating your address for a dependent, you'll need to provide the dependent's Social Security number or ITIN, as well as their name and date of birth.
- If you're experiencing issues with your stimulus check, you can also contact the IRS's Economic Impact Payment helpline at 1-800-919-9835.
Remember to keep your mailing address up to date to ensure that you receive any future stimulus checks or other important mail from the IRS.
