Recently, I had to update my address with the IRS after moving to a new home. To do this, I filled out and submitted Form 8822, which is specifically for address changes. I mailed the form to the appropriate IRS office listed in the instructions. It took about four to six weeks for the IRS to process the change and update my records. In the meantime, I also updated my address with the postal service and other relevant entities to ensure all my mail was forwarded correctly. The process was straightforward, but patience was key as it took a bit of time for the changes to be fully reflected.
