Need to change address with IRS and set up payment plan - any recent experiences?

I just went through this last month. It's actually not too bad if you follow these steps: 1. Change your address first. You can do this online through the IRS website or by mailing Form 8822. 2. For the payment plan, go to the IRS website and look for the Online Payment Agreement application. You'll need your tax return info and bank details. 3. Have your most recent tax return handy. They'll ask for info from it. 4. Be prepared to provide your monthly income and expenses. 5. Choose between a short-term plan (180 days or less) or long-term plan. 6. Set up automatic payments if you can. It makes life easier. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

ugh, dealing with the IRS is always such a headache 🤮 good luck OP!

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone at the IRS. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's the link: https://claimyr.com/?ref=rdt

make sure you keep ALL your documentation. The IRS lost my address change form last year and tried to say I never submitted it. What a clusterfck that was to sort out 🤬

Has anyone tried using a tax professional for this kind of thing? I'm wondering if it's worth the extra cost to have someone handle it all for me.

Pro tip: if you're setting up a payment plan, try to pay as much as you can upfront. It'll reduce the amount of interest and penalties you'll pay over time.

Anyone else feel like the IRS website is stuck in 1995? 🤣 Trying to navigate that thing is like trying to sail a boat made of cheese lol

Just a heads up, changing your address with the IRS doesn't automatically update it for other gov agencies. Make sure you also update with Social Security, your state tax agency, etc.

idk if this helps but I found some good info on the taxpayer advocate service website. they have guides for stuff like this and can sometimes help if you run into issues with the IRS
