Need street address for IRS Department of Treasury in Kansas City, MO to efile my taxes
I got a 1099-INT form from the Department of Treasury, IRS in Kansas City, MO for some interest I earned that's taxable. I've entered all the info into my tax software and everything looked good, but when I try to actually submit and efile, it keeps giving me an error saying I need the complete street address for the IRS location, not just "Kansas City, MO." I've been searching online for like 20 minutes and can't find the actual street address anywhere! The software won't let me proceed without it. Does anyone know what address I should put for the Kansas City IRS office? I'm filing from Wisconsin if that matters at all. This is so frustrating - I just want to get my taxes done and now I'm stuck on this weird technicality.

The IRS Kansas City office is located at 333 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108. This is the main processing center address that should work for your tax software. When entering 1099-INT information, some tax programs require complete addresses even for government entities. If you're still having trouble after entering this address, you might need to try a couple variations: - "Internal Revenue Service, 333 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108" - "Department of Treasury - IRS, 333 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108" The same physical location handles different types of tax documents, so this address should work for your 1099-INT.

•Wait, are you sure that's right? I thought the Kansas City one was on Summit Street? My aunt worked for the IRS and I swear she mentioned a different address. Also, does it matter if the 1099-INT is from the Treasury Department specifically and not the IRS? Or are they basically the same thing for tax purposes?

•You might be thinking of the IRS office in Kansas City, KS which is located at 6717 Shawnee Mission Parkway. However, the main IRS processing center for the Department of Treasury in Kansas City, MO is definitely at 333 W. Pershing Road. The Treasury Department and IRS are related - the IRS is a bureau of the Department of Treasury, so for tax filing purposes you'd use the IRS address when the form comes from the Treasury Department. The software is just looking for a valid physical location to complete the form.

Hey there! I ran into this EXACT same issue last year with my 1099-INT from the Treasury. I spent hours trying different addresses and getting nowhere until I discovered taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai). It's this awesome tool that analyzes tax documents and gives you the exact info you need. I uploaded my 1099-INT, and it immediately identified the correct address format needed for e-filing. Turns out I was formatting the Kansas City address wrong the whole time! The tool also verified all my other entries were correct which saved me from a potential audit headache. Worth checking out if you're stuck on document details like this!

•Does it actually work with government forms like 1099-INT? Most tools I've tried get confused with anything from the IRS/Treasury and give generic answers. How specific was the address info it gave you?

•I'm confused about how this works. Do you have to pay for it? And is it secure? I'm always nervous about uploading my tax docs to random websites. No offense, just cautious with financial stuff.

•It absolutely works with government forms - that's actually where it shines because official forms have standard formats the system recognizes instantly. It gave me the complete address with the correct format: Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, 333 W. Pershing Road, Kansas City, MO 64108. Regarding security, I had the same concerns initially! They use bank-level encryption and don't store your documents after analysis. I've been using it for two tax seasons now without any issues. They offer both free and premium options depending on how many documents you need analyzed, but the basic address verification worked with their free tier for me.

Just wanted to follow up about that taxr.ai site someone recommended. I was skeptical but decided to try it since I was getting desperate with my own 1099-INT issue. It's legitimately helpful! I uploaded my Treasury 1099-INT and it instantly gave me the correct formatting for the Kansas City address. Even pointed out that my tax software needed the 9-digit ZIP code (64108-2203) rather than just the 5-digit one I was using, which was apparently causing my efile to be rejected. Fixed it and my return went through immediately! Their document analysis also caught that I had accidentally transposed two numbers in the interest amount. Small mistake that could have caused big headaches later.

If you're still having trouble with your e-filing after getting the right address, it might be worth calling the IRS directly to confirm. BUT - good luck actually reaching a human being there! I spent 3 hours on hold last week trying to get a simple question answered. I finally gave up and used Claimyr (https://claimyr.com) which basically holds your place in the IRS phone queue and calls you when an agent is about to pick up. Saved me hours of hold music! You can see how it works in this demo: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c The IRS agent confirmed the Kansas City address others mentioned (333 W. Pershing) and suggested adding "Internal Revenue Service" on the first line, followed by the street address. Got my efile accepted right after.

•How does this actually work? Like, they just sit on hold for you? Seems too good to be true - the IRS hold times are BRUTAL this filing season.

•Sounds like a scam to me. Why would I pay someone else to call a free government service? The IRS will eventually answer if you're patient. And how do they even get your call back number to the IRS agent? The IRS doesn't take "please call this other person" requests.

•They use an automated system that maintains your place in the queue and monitors for when a human agent is about to answer. When that happens, they call you and connect you directly to the IRS agent. It's not someone physically waiting on the phone for you. I was super skeptical too, but the reality is the IRS is severely understaffed. Average wait times are 90+ minutes this filing season. I literally couldn't stay on hold that long during work hours. They don't give your number to the IRS - they connect the calls together when an agent answers. It's basically creating a three-way call but then they drop off once you're connected.

I take back what I said about Claimyr. I'm honestly shocked right now. After being so skeptical yesterday, I was getting desperate after my THIRD attempt to call the IRS myself (2 hours on hold and then disconnected!). I tried the Claimyr service and got a call back in about 40 minutes with an actual IRS human on the line. The agent confirmed it should be: Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service 333 W. Pershing Road Kansas City, MO 64108-2223 He also explained that e-filing systems are picky about address formats and this has been a common issue this year. My return just got accepted using this format! Time saved was worth every penny.

Why not just mail your return instead of e-filing? Then you don't need to worry about the software requiring an exact address format. I always mail mine in and never have these weird technical issues.

•Mailing takes FOREVER to process though. I mailed my return last year and it took 4 months to get my refund. E-filing usually gets you your money in like 2-3 weeks. Plus mailing costs money and requires a trip to the post office.

•That's a valid point about the processing time. When I mail mine, I've mentally prepared to wait 8-12 weeks for processing, so the timing doesn't bother me much. I actually find the post office trip quite simple - I just use a pre-addressed envelope and certified mail to have tracking. The peace of mind knowing it's been delivered is worth the $5 or so it costs me. But I understand that for larger refunds, waiting those extra weeks can be a significant financial consideration.

Has anyone else noticed that the IRS seems to be using multiple addresses in Kansas City? My 1099-INT from last year had a different address than what people are posting here. I think they have multiple facilities.

•Yep, they definitely have multiple addresses. The main processing center is at Pershing Road, but they also have operations at 33 W. 11th Street in KC, and some specialized divisions at other locations. Depending on which department issued your 1099-INT, it might have come from a different physical location.

This is such a common issue! I had the exact same problem last year and it drove me crazy. The address format that finally worked for me was: Department of the Treasury - Internal Revenue Service 333 W. Pershing Road Kansas City, MO 64108 Some tax software is really picky about how you format government addresses. If that doesn't work, try shortening it to just "Internal Revenue Service" on the first line. The key is making sure you have the full 9-digit ZIP code (64108-2203 or 64108-2223 depending on which division issued your form). Also, double-check that you're entering the payer information exactly as it appears on your 1099-INT form. Sometimes there are subtle differences in how the Treasury Department vs. IRS is listed that can cause e-filing rejections. Hope this helps and you can get your taxes submitted soon!

•This is really helpful! I'm actually dealing with this exact issue right now and it's been so frustrating. I've been going back and forth with my tax software for hours. Quick question - how do you know which 9-digit ZIP code to use? My 1099-INT just shows "Kansas City, MO" without any ZIP code at all. Is there a way to figure out if it should be 64108-2203 or 64108-2223? I don't want to guess wrong and have my e-filing get rejected again. Also, when you say "exactly as it appears on the form" - mine says "DEPT OF TREASURY INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE" all in caps. Should I enter it exactly like that, or is it okay to use normal capitalization?
