I need to change the address that I put on my amended tax return. How do I do this?

I will not be living at the address that I gave the IRS on my amended tax return.  Am I able to change my address before my tax refund arrives?

There are two steps you need to take:

  1. File a change of address form with the post office. You may need to go to your local post office to file that form, and bring a photo ID in case they ask for it.
  2. File Form 8822, Change of Address  with the IRS.

Neither one of these will change the address on your check, but it will greatly increase the likelihood that the check will find you.
