Address

[Bsayles12]

I have a mortgage in another state and I used the interest on it on my taxes but I rent in another state were I am currently living. Which address should I use to file my taxes?

The address on your tax return is a mailing address. Enter the address where you want the IRS to send any correspondence, including your refund if it is sent by mail. It does not have to be where you live or where you own property.

There could be some confusion with your state taxes if the address that you use on your tax return is not in the state that you live in.

Hi!

I’m current living in AZ but I was living in MO in 2019. When I was filling my federal and state tax return, the MO return address were automatically transfered with my current AZ address. I guess it was fine until it ask me to fill out the county name. Only MO county names are allowed to fill. if I selected the MO county i used to live in, the MO tax return will have an AZ address with a MO county. Do you know what should I do in this situation?

Thank you

In general, the address in My Info or Personal Info needs to be your current address. This is the address that will print at the top of the 1040, and is the address that the IRS is going to use if they need to mail you something.

In the rest of the product, you can generally the address that you had in 2019, for situations like your county. For forms like the W-2, just enter the address on the form.

"the MO tax return will have an AZ address with a MO county." - this is OK. The IRS and MO need to know where to reach you now, while for taxation purposes in tax year 2019, they need to know where you were then.

Don't worry, this happens a lot.
