How to change your address for Kentucky state taxes
To change the address on your Kentucky taxes, go through the Kentucky Department of Revenue — the options are below. Do it separately from the IRS, though: updating your Kentucky 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 Kentucky Department of Revenue?
- Enter the correct address on your return (Form 740)
- Contact the Department of Revenue to update it (phone 502-564-4581)
Official source: Department of Revenue — change of address. Kentucky has a flat 4% individual income tax and no dedicated change-of-address form or self-service portal for individuals. Enter the correct address on your return, and if you move after filing, contact the DOR to update it.
Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from Kentucky. 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 Kentucky change, use the official link above; we don’t file state forms.)
