Can you file Form 8822-B online?
PostalForm supports a narrow Form 8822-B preparation kit for business mailing-address, return-address, employee-plan-return, or business-location changes. The PostalForm workflow does not support responsible-party changes.
Published Jun 13, 2026 • Updated Jul 13, 2026
PostalForm fills the reviewed fields, leaves the authorized signature and signature date blank, adds a conspicuous assembly cover, and mails the single-sided kit only to the customer or authorized signer. PostalForm does not mail the form to the IRS and does not update IRS records.

Supported use
Use this workflow only when:
- the entity already has an EIN;
- the change concerns a supported business mailing address, return address, employee-plan-return address, or business location;
- an authorized owner, officer, or representative can hand-sign and date the delivered original; and
- the customer will verify the current destination from the old business-address state and personally submit the final form.
Do not use this PostalForm workflow for a responsible-party change. The current IRS Form 8822-B may cover that purpose, but PostalForm has deliberately excluded the responsible-party branch and its timing requirements from this release.
What PostalForm prepares
The guided workflow collects the supported business identity and address facts and produces an unsigned official-form kit. It does not collect a final signature, choose a final mailing service, or create proof of filing.
After the kit arrives:
- Remove and keep the PostalForm cover page.
- Review the business name, EIN, change-type boxes, old and new addresses, and any business-location entry.
- Have an authorized owner, officer, or representative hand-sign and date the original and add the signer's title.
- Verify the current Form 8822-B instructions and destination using the old business-address state.
- Personally mail the final form and keep a copy and your own mailing records.
Kit delivery to you is not IRS filing, acceptance, or proof that IRS records changed.
When not to use the workflow
Do not use it when you need to report a responsible-party change, need advice about signer authority, have a foreign or unusual routing situation not covered by the form, or cannot complete the handwritten signature and final submission yourself.
If you already completed and signed the correct current PDF and only need printing and mailing, use mail a completed form online and independently enter the verified current recipient.

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
