What address needs to be matched with all your tax filings - the business location or the mailing address?

[osmanyildiz]

What if i changed my llc business type only. What do i do?

[osmanyildiz]

Thank you very much for your clear explanation. Is there a way to change the business address with IRS via phone.

[LS-jbll]

Thank you so much for your informative video. Could you please give me a starting point for changing the Responsible Party's address for a non-profit organization that files only e-postcards? The Responsible Party moved out but IRS letters show the correct business address but the old address from the Responsible Party. If I file F8822 will IRS know to update the info to the non-profit? Or will the address updated to the non-profit when the Responsible Party files her 1040? Thank you!

Do you need to check any of those boxes if youre only changing responsibile party?

[muhaamamer]

Hey, there is a single alphabet typo in my "responsible party", do you think i need to correct that or should i just leave it?

[tinahill]

I filed this form to change the address of my business about 6 weeks ago. Should I receive any confirmation that it has been received and filed?

[JsTeEL]

What if you are not changing the responsibile party? Do you leave it blank?
