Why this topic matters

Address-change forms are not interchangeable. USPS Change of Address is for mail forwarding, while IRS Form 8822 and Form 8822-B update IRS address records for future tax correspondence. PostalForm helps with selected address-change forms that are completed as PDFs and mailed; it does not replace the official USPS forwarding request.
