If I move before I receive my tax return by mail, will it be forwarded to my new address?

No, the IRS won't forward a refund check.  Instead it will be returned to the IRS.   If you don't think you will receive it in time, you could try to contact the IRS and state tax authority to see if they can help you before your refund is processed.

Also, you can submit a Form 8822 to change your address with the IRS. They may not receive it until the refund is processed, but the new address will on file with them.

Toll-Free, 1-800-829-1040  Expect long wait times.

Not all post offices forward government checks so you would want to notify the IRS as well. Please visit the IRS Help article below for information on how to notify the IRS of an address change.
