Certain Tax Returns Go to Different Centers Than Last Year
INCOMETAXPRO.NET— Read the end of income tax Form 1040, Form 1040A, or Form 1040EZ instructions and booklet, follow the mailing instructions. Don't ever rely on a prior year's form, booklet, or mailing envelope.
Washington — As taxpayers begin to prepare income tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service notes that some may be sending their returns to a different service center than last year. Those who received a tax instruction booklet from the IRS in the mail and use the labels included with the booklet can be assured that their tax returns will go to the correct address. Taxpayers who e-file are not affected by these changes.
For tax year 2005, the mailing changes affect returns, with or without payments, from the District of Columbia and 11 states — Colorado, Delaware, Kansas, Maryland, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Ohio, South Dakota, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Taxpayers should send:
- Returns from Delaware and Virginia to the IRS Center in Atlanta, Georgia;
- Returns from the District of Columbia and Maryland to the IRS Center in Andover, Massachusetts;
- Returns from Ohio to the IRS Center in Kansas City, Missouri;
- Returns from Kansas, Mississippi and West Virginia to the IRS Center in Austin, Texas;
- Returns from Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and South Dakota to the IRS Center in Fresno, California.
For taxpayers who file paper returns, the correct center addresses are on labels inside the tax packages. Taxpayers who do not receive a package should refer to the back cover of the instructions to Form 1040, 1040-A or 1040EZ.
Taxpayers who e-file will not be affected by these changes. For the first time ever, more than half of all individuals chose to e-file their federal tax returns in 2005.
