If you got an IRS  letter asking for the form  then the address to send it will be on that notice.

Choose your state & use the column for form 1040 with no payment.

When you mail anything to the IRS, use a mailing service that will track it, like certified mail or UPS, so you will know they received it.

If you received a letter from the IRS, then the address should be on that letter.

Check the link for addresses by state.

If you are filing Form 8862 because you received an IRS letter, you should send it to the address listed in the letter. 

 

If your return was rejected because you need to file Form 8862, you can add Form 8862 to your tax return and then e-file it. 

 

Here is how to add Form 8862 to your tax return. 

  1. Sign in to your account and open your return.
  2. Select Federal from the left side menu.
  3. Select Deductions and Credits toward the top left.
  4. Scroll down/ expand the list and look for You and Your Family.
  5. Find Earned Income Credit and click on Start or Update to the right. 
  6. On the screen titled, Looks like the Earned Income Credit may put more money in your pocket, click Continue.
  7. Continue until you get to the question Do any of these uncommon situations apply?
  8. Check the box that says, I/we got a letter/notice from the IRS telling me/us to fill out an 8862 form to claim the Earned Income Credit.
  9. Select Continue and then Done.
  10. On the Since you got an IRS notice, we need to check on a few things screen, select  No, none of these apply and I need to fill out the 8862 form.
  11. Select Continue.
  12. Answer the remaining questions.
  13. Once you complete the section, you can run the Federal Review and continue until your return is submitted again.

If you filed your original return without reporting 1095-A form, you should have received a letter (12C letter) from the IRS asking you to send Form 8962. The letter should provide some instructions on where and how to send the form. 

Here is a TurboTax help article I got a 12C letter from the IRS (Form 8962).

There is no address on the letter and the phone number they give is the generic IRS number that hangs up when you call it because of "high call volume".

What do I do if there isn't an address it the letter? On the IRS website it says mail it. But no address. On the letter is says to mail it, but again there is no address.
