Question Regarding U.S. Address on Form 1040NR

[parachem]

Hello,

I am a Non-Resident Alien for U.S. tax purposes and will be filing Form 1040NR for the 2024 tax year.

For mailing purposes, I would prefer to use a reliable U.S. address (a friend’s residence) rather than an international address, in order to receive any IRS correspondence more quickly and reliably.

Are there any potential downsides to using a U.S. address in this situation? Could it raise any red flags with the IRS or affect my non-resident status in any way?

Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
