What is Form 8822?

Form 8822, Change of Address, is the IRS form individuals use to report a new home mailing address. Keeping your address current ensures the IRS sends refund checks, notices, and correspondence to the right place — the IRS doesn't always update your address automatically just because you moved or filed a return elsewhere. The form covers individual income tax returns (Forms 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR) as well as gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer tax returns (Forms 706, 709). It captures your old address, your new address, and your name and SSN, with spouse fields for joint filers and a checkbox if you and your spouse are now establishing separate residences. There's a related Form 8822-B for businesses and responsible-party changes. JustFill detects each field on the official PDF automatically — you type or dictate your answers, it works on scanned copies, and you never need Adobe Acrobat.

The official free PDF of Form 8822 (Rev. February 2021) and its instructions are on irs.gov at the About Form 8822 page. JustFill opens that exact PDF in-browser so you can complete it online without Adobe — type or dictate every field, then export and mail the finished form.

Who fills out Form 8822?

  • Individuals who moved and need the IRS to mail refunds and notices to the new home address
  • Joint filers updating a shared address, or spouses now establishing separate residences
  • Executors notifying the IRS of an address change for an estate (Form 706) filer
  • People who changed their name and address together after marriage or divorce
  • Taxpayers who filed gift or generation-skipping transfer tax returns (Forms 709, etc.)

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form 8822 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Part I, Line 1 — income tax returns box

Check this if the change affects individual income tax returns (Forms 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR), plus a box if you're now establishing a residence separate from a former joint-return spouse

Part I, Line 2 — gift/estate/GST box

Check this if the change affects gift, estate, or generation-skipping transfer tax returns (Forms 706, 709, etc.); enter a decedent's name and SSN for Forms 706/706-NA

Lines 3a/3b — your name and SSN

Your first name, initial, and last name (3a) and your Social Security number (3b)

Lines 4a/4b — spouse's name and SSN

Your spouse's name (4a) and Social Security number (4b) when the change applies to a joint filing

Lines 5a/5b — prior names

Your prior name(s) (5a) and your spouse's prior name(s) (5b), if you changed names

Line 6a — your old address

Your old number, street, apt., city/town, state, and ZIP; foreign-address spaces if applicable

Lines 6b & 7 — spouse old / new address

Spouse's old address if different from 6a (line 6b) and the new address everyone is moving to (line 7), with foreign-address fields

Part II — signature

An optional daytime contact phone number plus the signature(s) and date(s); both spouses must sign for a joint-return address change

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Leaving the spouse's signature blank in Part II when the old return was joint — the IRS needs both signatures to update a joint address
  • 2Filling in Form 8822 to change a business address; businesses must use Form 8822-B instead
  • 3Attaching Form 8822 to a tax return — the instructions say to mail it separately, not with your return

Form 8822 example — what a filled-out form looks like

A fictional married couple who filed joint Form 1040 returns move from an apartment in Boston to a house in Raleigh and mail Form 8822 to notify the IRS of their new home mailing address. All names and numbers are fictional.

Part I, Lines 1–2 — Returns Affected by Address Change

Line 1 Checked: ☑ Individual income tax returns (Forms 1040, 1040-SR, 1040-NR) · Separate residence box left unchecked · Line 2 left unchecked

Tells the IRS to update the master individual income tax account for both joint filers.

Lines 3a–4b — Taxpayer & Spouse Names and SSNs

Line 3a Your name: Daniel P. Sample · Line 3b SSN: •••-••-2814 · Line 4a Spouse's name: Priya K. Sample · Line 4b Spouse's SSN: •••-••-9042

Lists the primary taxpayer and spouse in the same order as their most recent joint Form 1040.

Lines 6a & 7 — Old Mailing Address & New Mailing Address

Line 6a Old address: 88 Sample Beacon St, Apt 4F, Boston, MA 02108 · Line 7 New address: 412 Sample Glenwood Ave, Raleigh, NC 27603

Matches the prior address on record (Line 6a) and provides the new street address where future IRS notices and refunds should be sent (Line 7).

Part II — Signatures & Dates

Signed and dated by both Daniel P. Sample and Priya K. Sample on 10/22/2026 (Daytime phone: (919) 555-0132)

When the last return was filed jointly and both spouses move together, the instructions require both spouses to sign Part II.

These values are made up. They are here to show what belongs on each line, not to be copied — every name, number, and address on your own Form 8822 has to be your own.
