How to change your address for Maine state taxes
To change the address on your Maine taxes, go through the Maine Revenue Services — the options are below. Do it separately from the IRS, though: updating your Maine 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 Maine Revenue Services?
- Written, signed request by mail (must include old & new address, SSN, signature, proof of residency, and a copy of a government-issued photo ID)
Official source: Maine Revenue Services — change of address. Unusually strict: Maine requires a written, signed request including proof of residency AND a copy of a government photo ID; per the official FAQ it cannot be done online through the Maine Tax Portal.
Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from Maine. 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 Maine change, use the official link above; we don’t file state forms.)
