Official channel summary
IRS address-change guidance says a taxpayer can use Form 8822 or Form 8822-B, use a new address on a tax return, send a signed written statement, or notify the IRS orally after identity verification.
Topic 157 also says Form 8822 can be sent to the address shown on the form. The official channel is determined by the IRS guidance, not by Tax Paperwork.
Where Tax Paperwork fits
The Form 8822 preview can organize old and new individual address facts and produce a watermarked local draft for review.
It cannot confirm processing, update an IRS account, handle spouse coordination, or substitute for IRS identity verification.
When to stop
- Business address or responsible-party changes; use Form 8822-B guidance instead.
- Representative signing, decedent estate facts, foreign or territory routing, or spouse-address uncertainty.
Current Tax Paperwork boundary
Tax Paperwork is not tax, legal, accounting, entity-structuring, treaty, fiduciary, valuation, or filing-channel advice. It is not IRS.gov and does not submit, transmit, fax, mail, upload, pay, or monitor IRS paperwork.
