What Is Form 8822: Change of Address?

After moving into a new home, you may want to use Form 8822 to notify the Internal Revenue Service of your change of address. The IRS may send you notices, refunds paid with a paper check and other correspondence relating to your personal, gift and estate taxes. If you don’t let the IRS know that you moved, it sends all correspondence to your last known address, the one listed on your most recent tax return. For details about filing Form 8822, see the full TurboTax article.

Can You Check for Unclaimed Tax Refunds?

The IRS puts a limit on the time in which you can claim a refund for the over-payment of tax. However, you can’t check if you have a refund due to you until you complete a tax return. To amend a prior year return to claim any overpaid taxes, you have three years from the date you filed it. If you didn’t file a tax return, then you have two years to submit one in order to claim a refund that you are owed. To find out more about getting your overpayment back, see the full TurboTax article.
