Quick answer
Use Form 8822 for an individual's IRS address-change facts. Use Form 8822-B for a business or entity with an EIN application on file when the business mailing address, business location, or responsible party changes. Tax Paperwork can only prepare browser-local, watermarked drafts; it does not update IRS accounts, submit either form, or confirm processing.
Source and advice boundary
Use the linked IRS address-change, Form 8822-B, and Topic 157 pages below as official source starting points. This guide is education-only and does not provide tax, legal, accounting, authority, representative, estate, account-access, or filing-channel advice.
Use Form 8822 for individual address facts
IRS address-change guidance identifies Form 8822 for individual, gift, estate, or generation-skipping transfer tax return address changes.
Tax Paperwork's Form 8822 preview is limited to known individual taxpayer address facts and customer-managed IRS communication. It is not an IRS online update, not a mailing service, and not processing confirmation.
Use Form 8822-B for business and responsible-party facts
The IRS Form 8822-B page says the form is for businesses and other entities with an EIN application on file when business mailing address, business location, or responsible party changes.
Responsible-party changes carry timing, authority, and control questions, including the IRS 60-day reporting rule. Nominee, ownership, merger, dissolution, and dispute facts should route to professional review.
Draft preview is not an IRS account update
Tax Paperwork can organize a watermarked local draft for either preview, but it does not sign in to IRS accounts, update IRS records, mail forms, upload files, or confirm processing.
Use IRS.gov for current blank forms, current instructions, current where-to-file details, and any IRS-controlled submission mechanics.
Simple decision rule
- Personal home mailing address: start with Form 8822 guidance.
- Business address, business location, EIN application information, or responsible party: start with Form 8822-B guidance.
- Mixed personal and business facts: separate the individual Form 8822 question from the business Form 8822-B question before drafting.
