Use Form 8822 for individual address facts

IRS address-change guidance identifies Form 8822 for individual, gift, estate, or generation-skipping transfer tax return address changes.

Tax Paperwork's Form 8822 preview is limited to living individual taxpayer address facts and customer-managed mailing.

Use Form 8822-B for business and responsible-party facts

The IRS Form 8822-B page says the form is for businesses and other entities with an EIN application on file when business mailing address, business location, or responsible party changes.

Responsible-party changes carry authority and control questions, so nominee, ownership, merger, dissolution, and dispute facts should route to professional review.

Simple decision rule

  • Personal home mailing address: start with Form 8822 guidance.
  • Business address, business location, EIN application information, or responsible party: start with Form 8822-B guidance.
