# Where to mail Form 8822-B: business address lookup

Find the Form 8822-B filing destination from your old business address and prepare an unsigned address-change kit for review and handwritten signing.

## How it works
1. **Open the business address-change workflow, enter the supported change, and review the filled form.** - 
2. **Order the unsigned kit delivered to you for final review and handwritten signature.** - 
3. **Verify the current address using the old business location, then personally mail the signed form.** -


## Where do I mail Form 8822-B?
PostalForm's Form 8822-B lookup uses the old business address to choose Kansas City or Ogden from the IRS routing chart. The destination differs from the individual Form 8822 chart. PostalForm prepares address and location changes as unsigned kits for customer delivery; the customer signs and personally submits the final form.

## Address and scope matrix
| Decision                            | Correct route                                                                             |
| ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Old business address                | Select it in the lookup above; use Kansas City or Ogden exactly as shown                  |
| Business address or location change | [Prepare the supported unsigned kit](/forms/8822-b)                                       |
| Home address change                 | [Use Form 8822](/forms/irs/8822)                                                          |
| Responsible-party change            | Use the official IRS instructions directly; this PostalForm workflow excludes that change |
| Tax return or payment               | Use that specific return's instructions, not the Form 8822-B destination                  |

The [official IRS form](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8822b.pdf), reviewed October 15, 2026, sends its first state group to Internal Revenue Service, Kansas City, MO 64999, and its second state group and locations outside the United States to Internal Revenue Service, Ogden, UT 84201-0023. Use the lookup for the exact state grouping.

## Preparation checklist
Enter the business's legal name, EIN, old and new mailing addresses, any changed business location, affected return types, and authorized signer context. The supported workflow excludes responsible-party changes. Keep any authority documentation required by the official instructions and review all details before handwritten signing.

## Use when and avoid when
| Use when                                                             | Avoid when                                                                |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| You need an address or business-location change prepared and printed | You need a responsible-party change or a separate deadline-managed filing |
| You can sign and mail the final form yourself                        | You expect checkout to update the IRS immediately                         |
| You know the old business address                                    | The controlling old location or signer authority is unresolved            |

## 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. [Review delivery estimates](/delivery-times) and [full pricing](/pricing).
