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.

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
