Where to mail Form 8822 from South Carolina
Moving from South Carolina? Your Form 8822 goes to the IRS in Kansas City, MO — the office the form assigns to your old state.
Department of the Treasury
Internal Revenue Service
Kansas City, MO 64999-0023
Three details that matter
- It’s your OLD address that decides. South Carolina above means the address the IRS has on file now. Your new state doesn’t matter for routing.
- Line 2 overrides everything. If you checked the gift/estate box (Forms 706/709), mail instead to the Internal Revenue Service Center, Kansas City, MO 64999-0023.
- No street address is missing. IRS service centers use city-state-ZIP-only addressing — the envelope above is complete and correct.
Mailing it well
The IRS sends no confirmation and takes 4–6 weeks, so Certified Mail (about $5–6 at the counter) is the cheap insurance: a dated receipt plus tracking to the door. Joint return? Both spouses sign — that rule catches more people than the address does.
Or do the whole thing in about a minute: guided fill-in with a live preview of the official form, sign on screen, and we mail it Certified to the Kansas City office with tracking emailed to you.
