Frequently asked questions
Will updating my address on a tax return also update it with the IRS?
It can update IRS records going forward, but filing Form 8822 is the more reliable, dedicated way to ensure your address is updated promptly outside of the filing season.
Is there a different form for a business address change?
Yes — use Form 8822-B for a business address or responsible party change instead.
How long does it take to process?
Address changes can take several weeks to process — file as soon as you know your new address, especially if expecting IRS correspondence or a refund.
