Where to Mail Tax Returns?

The IRS mailing addresses listed here are for 2022 IRS federal tax returns; see state tax return mailing addresses. For previous year tax return mailing addresses, visit the back taxes page and find the needed tax year.

Your actual IRS tax return mailing address depends on the state or territory that you live or reside in now, whether you expect an IRS tax refund or are submitting a tax payment, and, in some cases, on the type of Form 1040 that you are filing. Here are a few points regarding the mailing of your return:

• You can pay taxes online, even though you might mail in your return; you can also provide direct deposit information on your return when you mail as of 2022.
• If you owe taxes: file something, even if you can't pay anything! Why? Late filing penalties are often higher than late payment penalties.
• The Form 1040-X tax amendment form requires different postal and/or UPS, FedEx mailing addresses for the amended return. A list of other tax forms might also list IRS mailing addresses - typically, forms have addresses listed on the informational pages.
• If you need to change your own mailing address with the IRS due to a move - for example, you had selected to receive your refund by check in the mail - after you had submitted or e-filed your return, complete address change Form 8822 and mail it in - that mailing address is on the form 8822. You can't e-file form 8822! You can also wait until you complete your next tax return and change your address there if you don't expect letters or checks mailed to you by the IRS. However, in general, it may be a good idea to update your address shortly after you move.

Where to Mail Form 941

The deadlines to file quarterly returns for employers are generally the end of the month following a quarter. For example, for wages paid during Q1 (January - March), the first 941 would be due April 30. If the end of the month falls on a weekend of holiday, the deadline is moved to the next business day.

Note: we at eFile.com currently only support the preparation and e-filing of individual income tax returns via Form 1040 and individual income state returns.

The IRS does accept e-filed 941 Forms for Employer's Quarterly Federal Tax Returns and they encourage employers to e-file rather than mail. Otherwise, use the addresses below to mail your 941 Return based on the state the business operates and whether or not you owe taxes.
