How can I update my address on file with the IRS?

You can use Form 8822 to notify the IRS of a change to your home mailing address. You can also just change your address when you file your next tax return, or submit written or oral statements of your address change as noted in the table below.

Method	Action
IRS form	Use Form 8822, Change of Address or Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party – Business
Tax return	Use your new address when you file
Written statement	Send us a signed written statement with your: full name old and new addresses Social Security number (SSN), ITIN, or EIN Mail your signed statement to the address where you filed your last return.
Oral notification	Tell us in person or by telephone. We’ll need you to verify your identity and the address we have on file for you. Please have ready your: full name old and new addresses SSN, ITIN or EIN We may request additional information to verify your identity.

 

I would recommend sending your address change form or written statement to both the ITIN program office and the regular IRS processing center to update the address on file for all tax purposes.

Also note that it may take four to six weeks from the date of receipt for the IRS to update their records.
