Additional Tips:
- Make sure to update your address with the IRS as soon as possible to avoid any delays or issues with your tax refund or correspondence.
- If you're a business owner, you'll need to update your business address with the IRS separately.
- If you're a taxpayer with a Power of Attorney, you'll need to update the address with the IRS separately as well.
- Keep in mind that the IRS may not be able to update your address immediately, so it's a good idea to verify your new address with the IRS after a few weeks.
Remember to also update your address with other government agencies, such as the Social Security Administration, the Department of Motor Vehicles, and your state's tax authority, if applicable.
