How to change your address for Louisiana state taxes
To change the address on your Louisiana taxes, go through the Louisiana Department of Revenue — the options are below. Do it separately from the IRS, though: updating your Louisiana 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 Louisiana Department of Revenue?
- LaTAP online — 'Names and Address' section
- Form R-6505 (Individual Income Tax Name and Address Change), mail/fax/email
Louisiana Department of Revenue, P.O. Box 1469, Baton Rouge, LA 70821
Official source: Department of Revenue — change of address. Change your address in LaTAP (Account Summary > 'Names and Address'), or submit Form R-6505, which can be mailed, faxed (225-219-0806), or emailed (CentralReg@LA.GOV).
Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from Louisiana. 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 Louisiana change, use the official link above; we don’t file state forms.)
