How to change your address for Massachusetts state taxes
To change the address on your Massachusetts taxes, go through the Massachusetts Department of Revenue — the options are below. Do it separately from the IRS, though: updating your Massachusetts address does not change your federal record, so you’ll also need to file Form 8822 with the IRS.

Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from Massachusetts. 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 Massachusetts change, use the official link above; we don’t file state forms.)
