What Should You Update When Your Business Address Changes?

Short answer

An address change is not a single-record update. Review the IRS, entity registrations, tax accounts, licenses, registered agent, payroll and sales-tax accounts separately. The IRS uses Form 8822-B for business address, location or responsible-party changes; responsible-party changes must be reported within 60 days.

Who should pay attention?

• Your mailing address or business location changes
• Your responsible party changes
• You begin operating in another state or city
