How to change your address for Washington state taxes
Good news: Washington has no individual income tax, so there’s no state income-tax return — and no state income-tax address to change. (The Washington Department of Revenuehandles business and other taxes.) The address you still need to update is your federal one, with the IRS.
Washington has no tax on wage/individual income ('Washington state does not have an individual or corporate income tax'). It levies only a 7% excise tax on certain long-term capital gains, which does not apply to wages. Community-property state. Washington Department of Revenue — official page.
Don’t forget the IRS — this is the part we handle
Federal taxes are separate from Washington. 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. (There’s no Washington income-tax change to make — the IRS is the only address update you need; we don’t file state forms.)
