IRS Form 8822-B online preparation workflow
This preparation-only workflow is limited to business mailing-address, return-address, employee-plan-return, and business-location changes. PostalForm fills the current Form 8822-B and sends the unsigned kit to the customer, not the IRS. Responsible-party changes are excluded because they carry a separate 60-day deadline.
We fill the form and mail an unsigned preparation kit to you. You complete the original signatures, physical enclosures, and final submission.
PostalForm is not affiliated with Internal Revenue Service.
