Where do I mail Form 8822?
PostalForm's Form 8822 address lookup follows the IRS chart using your old home address and whether line 2 covers gift, estate, or generation-skipping transfer returns. Special residence and tax-status rows can override the state route. Confirm the destination in the official instructions before personally mailing the completed, signed form.
Filing-address decision matrix
| Your Form 8822 situation | USPS filing destination |
|---|---|
| Line 2 checked for gift, estate, or GST returns | Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service Center, Kansas City, MO 64999-0023 |
| Line 2 not checked; old home address in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, or Texas | Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Austin, TX 73301-0023 |
| Line 2 not checked; another U.S. state or DC | Use the lookup above; the IRS chart splits these states between Kansas City and Ogden |
| Foreign, listed territory, military address, or specified tax status | Use the special-status row in the lookup and official chart |
| Bona fide resident of Guam or the Virgin Islands | Separate territorial destinations are shown by the lookup |
The lookup covers the states and special rows printed on the IRS Form 8822 instructions. The chart was reviewed October 15, 2026. The destination is not selected from your new address or whether a payment is enclosed. Do not use a tax-return payment-address table for this form.
What does PostalForm send?
PostalForm prepares Form 8822 as an unsigned print kit delivered to your verified address.

Ordering the kit does not notify the IRS or update IRS records.

Which mailing option and proof should you choose?
PostalForm offers U.S. letter mailing with different delivery and proof options. First-Class suits routine correspondence; Certified Mail adds mailing and delivery records, and Electronic Return Receipt adds a downloadable signature record. Expedited delivery prioritizes speed. Review the destination, estimated dates, total price, and required proof before paying.
| Mailing option | Delivery speed | Proof | Use when | Avoid when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USPS First-Class Mail | First-Class Mail delivery estimate shown before payment. | Available processing scans; no recipient signature or Certified Mail receipt. | Routine letters when a signed delivery record is unnecessary. | Your instructions require Certified Mail, a signature, or a deadline this estimate cannot meet. |
| Certified Mail | First-Class delivery speed; certification does not make delivery faster. | USPS mailing and delivery/attempt tracking; no Electronic Return Receipt unless added. | You need a recorded mailing and delivery or attempted-delivery status. | You need a downloadable signature record or faster delivery. |
| Certified Mail + Electronic Return Receipt | First-Class delivery speed; signature collection may require redelivery or pickup. | Certified Mail records plus a downloadable USPS signature record when available. | Your instructions call for Certified Mail with Return Receipt or you need the signature record. | Your recipient requires an original enclosure, personal service, or another submission method. |
| Expedited / Express with signature | Faster estimated delivery range shown at checkout; production cutoff and destination apply. | Carrier tracking and signature option; this is separate from Certified Mail and ERR. | Speed and signature matter and checkout offers the service for your destination. | A rule specifically requires Certified Mail or the displayed estimate misses your deadline. |
Availability and delivery estimates depend on the document and destination. Mailing proof does not establish that a recipient accepted a filing or that legal service requirements were met. Delivery estimates · Full pricing
