How to change your address for District of Columbia state taxes
To change the address on your District of Columbia taxes, go through the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue — the options are below. Do it separately from the IRS, though: updating your District of Columbia address does not change your federal record, so you’ll also need to file Form 8822 with the IRS.
What are your options with the District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue?
- MyTax.DC.gov (online)
- Form FR-COA by mail (with documentation of the new address)
Official source: Office of Tax and Revenue — change of address. A paper FR-COA must include documentation of the new address (e.g., utility bill, driver's license, or lease); account holders can also change it directly in MyTax.DC.gov. DC is a state-equivalent for tax purposes.
Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from District of Columbia. The IRS keeps its own address for your notices and refunds, and for individuals the only way to update it is Form 8822 — by mail, with no online option. That’s the errand we take off your plate, nationwide.
Fill the federal Form 8822 online in about a minute, sign on screen, and we mail it to the correct IRS office — Certified, with tracking. (For your District of Columbia change, use the official link above; we don’t file state forms.)
