Will the irs process a form 1040 with incorrect address?

[abctax55 · Accepted solution]

How would the IRS know it's incorrect?

Do you mean different from the prior year, as in an address change?  Or something else?  NMI

If the address is incorrect, your client would want to notify the IRS asap  Otherwise, your client could miss important notices or refund check, especially if one is expected.

The fastest way to update the address is to call the IRS.  Alternatively, a F.8822 could be filed but it'd take some time for the change to be processed through the system.

(Did you have a nice trip?  A pleasure/vacation trip, I hope)

[itonewbie]

Yes, a pleasure trip.  Still traveling.  It's the annual holiday with our kids.  Glad we got out before the airport in HK shut down.

Enjoy. Scary times in HK now.

[itonewbie]

Thanks, Susan!  You'd never imagine something like that would happen in HK.  Hope it all ends well.

Hope it settles down before your return, but it appears to have heated back up today.
Stay safe.

Thanks, Anna!  I hope so too.

[abctax55]

For many, many reasons....I hope so.
