You can download and print the form from the IRS website or request one by calling the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. You can also submit the form online through the IRS website.
  2. Use the IRS Address Change Service: The IRS offers a free Address Change Service, which allows you to update your address online. You'll need to provide your name, Social Security number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), and your old and new addresses.
