Question: I got a letter from the IRS! HELP!!!?

My ex husband and I had to file our taxes together for the 2005 year, I didn’t turn in my W2’s and now the IRS sent me a letter with both our names addressed on it. We filed taxes last year using only his W2. Who are they going after for the money? I don’t have the money now to even make payments to them and I want to know can I just not respond and just wait this out till this years taxes and let them seize my check? Help my deadline date is Nov. 21.

Answer: They will try to “go after” both of you if you filed a joint return. Not responding is not the best course of action.

They should have sent you information in the notice that discussed payment plans. You can set up a payment plan for the amount due; it can be either an amount you send each month, or they can withhold it from your paycheck.

If you’re expecting a refund for this year’s taxes, you can tell them that. Again, the best course is to talk to them or write them explaining the situation.

Question: What is the mailing address to the IRS office in Austin, Texas?

I live in Texas and am needing to send my 8822 form (change of address) to the Austin location but do not know the address in which I should send the 8822 form to. Can someone give me the address? Thank you very much!

Answer: IRS
Austin, TX 73301-0023.

It’s on the form.

Do NOT use the address on Rundberg. That’s an IRS walk in office. Just mail to the service center.

Question: I entered the wrong employer address for my tax return. Does it really matter? Irs accepted the return 2 days?

ago. My employer(im self employed as a nanny) made a mistake on my first w2 for the ein number. They gave me the corrected w2, and I put in the corrected ein number into turbo tax, but I realized to late they also changed the address on my w2. (their accountant said I could use the ein number of the wife(she runs a seperate business, and we used that address rather than her home address). So I have the correct ein number, but wrong employer address. Does it really matter that my tax return has the wrong address? If so…how do I fix this? My employer just filed their taxes today. Thank you!

Answer: The IRS computers are concerned with the EIN number matching their records.

Do not bother to amend to fix an error like yours which has no impact on the tax refund or tax amount due.
