Quick answer
IRS responsible-party guidance says to report responsible-party, address, or location changes on Form 8822-B within 60 days. It also says that if no confirmation letter arrives within 60 days, mail a copy marked "Second Request." Tax Paperwork does not update the IRS account or confirm processing.

| Question | IRS-source answer | Tax Paperwork boundary |
|---|---|---|
| When should a responsible-party change be reported? | Within 60 days according to IRS responsible-party guidance. | The draft can remind you; it does not decide authority or update IRS records. |
| What if no confirmation letter arrives? | IRS guidance says to mail a copy of Form 8822-B and write "Second Request" on it after 60 days without confirmation. | Tax Paperwork does not mail second requests or monitor correspondence. |
| Which address should be used? | Use the current Form 8822-B instructions and official IRS source. | Tax Paperwork does not choose a mailing destination from private facts. |

What to check next
Use the current IRS Form 8822-B source, keep the signed copy and mailing proof, and get professional help if the responsible-party authority or control facts are disputed.
Tax Paperwork can help organize a narrow browser-local draft preview where supported. You remain responsible for checking official sources, getting professional advice when needed, and keeping customer-controlled submission records.
Common risk
A common mistake is treating a draft, checklist, payment receipt, upload receipt, mailing receipt, or third-party summary as IRS confirmation. Keep records, but verify official channel rules and follow-up through IRS.gov, official correspondence, or qualified professional help.
