Need help changing address & setting up IRS payment plan - tips?

I just went through this last month. First, you need to call the IRS main number and navigate through their menu to reach the correct department. Be prepared to wait on hold for a looong time. When you finally get through, have all your info ready - social security number, old and new address, and your financial details for the payment plan.

You can actually do both of these things online! Go to the IRS website and look for the 'Online Payment Agreement' tool. You can update your address there and set up a payment plan without having to deal with the phone nightmare.

Whatever you do, make sure you keep records of everything. The IRS can be a real pain to deal with, and having documentation of all your communications and agreements can save you a lot of headaches down the road.
