To ensure the IRS's timely receipt of any payments, the IRS encourages taxpayers and tax professionals to avoid mailing payments to these closing addresses.

Please check Where to File on irs.gov for active addresses, before mailing your payments. However, payments mailed to these closed payment locations after Jan. 1, 2022, will be returned to sender. If you receive an IRS payment letter, send your payment to the address located in the letter.
