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

Official source: Division of Taxation — change of address. New Jersey explicitly accepts a copy of federal IRS Form 8822 (with a photocopy of a government-issued ID) as a valid state change-of-address, as an alternative to NJ's own form.
New Jersey is unusual: it accepts a copy of your federal IRS Form 8822 (with a photo ID) as a valid state change of address. So the federal form does double duty here — but you still file it with the IRS as well.
Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from New Jersey. 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 New Jersey change, use the official link above; we don’t file state forms.)
