In the case of a change of residence, the person must inform the different services about this in order to receive further mail or state benefits. It is very important to inform the United States Revenue Service (IRS) about this in order to receive tax returns and other important information.

IRS published a detailed instruction about the different ways to notify her about the change of address.

1. The service can be notified using special forms: form 8822 (Form 8822, Change of Address) or form 8822-B (Form 8822-B, Change of Address or Responsible Party - Business).

2. A new address can simply be entered in the appropriate columns of your tax return.

3. Send a written notice to the U.S. Tax Office about your address change, including: your name and surname, old address, new address, social security number (or individual tax identification number (ITIN), or employer identification number).

Send your application to the address of the tax office where you filed your latest tax return, residing at the old address.

4. You can notify the IRS in person or by phone. The service will verify your identity and address, so you need to have with you documents confirming your name, address, date of birth, social security number (either the individual tax identification number, or the employer identification number).

If you file a tax return with your spouse, be sure to include information about both taxpayers.

If you filed a tax return jointly, and then began to live separately from each other, each spouse must provide their new address to the IRS.

Taxpayer representatives notifying the US Internal Revenue Service of a change in its address must submit a copy of their power of attorney or 2848 form (Form 2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative). Unauthorized third parties cannot change the address of the taxpayer.

Any change of address that you notify the US Postal Service may also cause a change of your address registered with the IRS, depending on whether the new address is in the address database. But even if you notified the Postal Service about the change of address, you still need to notify the IRS separately.
