- You don't notify the IRS - you notify the Post Office, and make sure there is a forwarding order fro your mail to follow you to your new address.
- "notify the IRS to ensure that you receive any refunds or correspondence. While the IRS uses the Postal Service’s change of address files to update taxpayer addresses, notifying the IRS directly is still a good idea. There are several ways to do this. You may correct the address legibly on the mailing label that comes with your tax package or write the new address in the appropriate boxes on your tax return when you file. . You may use Form 8822, Change of Address, to submit an address or name change at any time during the year. To give written notification, write to the IRS center where you file your return and provide your new address. The addresses for the IRS centers are listed in the tax instructions. In order to process an address change, the IRS will need your full name, old and new addresses, and your social security number or employer identification number, and signatures. If you filed a joint return, you should provide the same information for both spouses. If you filed a joint return and have since established separate residences, you each should notify the IRS of your new addresses. If an IRS employee contacts you about your account, you may be able to verbally provide a change of address. It's a good idea to notify your employer of your new address so that you can get your W-2 forms on time. If you change your address after filing your return, don't forget to notify the post office at your old address so your mail can be forwarded. You should also notify the IRS if you make estimated tax payments and you change your address during the year. You should mail a completed Form 8822, Change of Address, or write the IRS center where you file your return. You can continue to use your old pre-printed payment vouchers until the IRS sends you new ones. However, do not correct the address on the old voucher. You can download Form 8822, Change of Address at the IRS Web site, IRS.gov, or order by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676)."
- You notify The Post Office at your old address and you file a Form 8822 with the IRS. If everything goes well you will get the rebate at the new address. If not, who knows when you will get it. The IRS has indicated that they will start working on all of those type cases as soon as the rest of the checks are mailed (July 11th).
- The quickest way to let the IRS know you are moving is to call the IRS at (800) 829-1040. They can change the address after asking you a couple questions to make sure who is calling. The answer about the Post Office forwarding your IRS check is not correct. The Post Office is required to return an IRS check back to the IRS if the person no longer lives at the address the check is sent to. I would put a forwarding with the Post Office so you get all your other mail, it just won't help for checks from the IRS.
- Download Form 8822 Change of Address and mail it to IRS address provided on the form. Or call IRS at 1-800-829-1040; or visit your local IRS office and provide IRS with new address.
