What should I do if my child had a change of address?

If your child has a change of address before filing their return, enter your child's new address on your child's return when they file. When your child's return is processed, the IRS will update their records.

If your child had a change of address after filing their return, be sure to notify the IRS in writing of the new address. To do this, use IRS Form 8822, Change of Address.
