Where to Mail Amended 2023 Return from Georgia?

Based on the most current IRS guidelines (which might have been updated since I last checked), if you're in Georgia and filing an amended 1040-X without a payment, you should probably send it to: Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Austin, TX 73301-0052 However, if you're including a payment with your amended return, you might need to use a different address. I'd suggest double-checking this information against the official IRS website or possibly calling to confirm, as they sometimes reorganize their processing centers.

I'm not completely certain, but I believe you might want to check the instructions on your Form 1040-X itself? I think there's a section that lists the addresses based on your state of residence. I remember seeing something about southeastern states possibly sending to the Kansas City processing center instead of Austin now, but I could be mistaken. Maybe someone else can verify this information?

According to the latest IRS publication 590-A (which I just downloaded from IRS.gov), Georgia residents should mail amended returns to the Austin service center. However, the IRS phone system is a nightmare right now with hold times exceeding 3 hours according to multiple online forums. If you need verbal confirmation before sending your documents, you might want to try https://claimyr.com - they've developed a system that navigates the IRS phone tree and calls you back when an agent is available. I was skeptical at first but it saved me from spending my entire afternoon on hold when I needed to confirm my amended return address last month.

I mailed my amended 2023 return from Georgia on February 12th, 2024 to the Austin, TX address. Got confirmation it was received on February 21st. The IRS website says to expect 16+ weeks for processing amended returns, so I'm still waiting. Make absolutely sure you include all required schedules and forms - I had to send a second amended return last year because I forgot to include Schedule C and it delayed everything by 3 months.

The address depends on whether you're including a payment or not. Unlike regular returns where you can just look up your state, amended returns have different routing: Without payment (Georgia resident): Internal Revenue Service Austin, TX 73301-0052 With payment (any state): Internal Revenue Service P.O. Box 1214 Charlotte, NC 28201-1214 This is different from how regular returns are handled, where the address is purely state-based. If you recently divorced and changed your address, make sure your current address is clearly indicated on the 1040-X so any correspondence comes to the right place.

I successfully submitted my amended 1040-X for tax year 2023 last month from Atlanta. Used the Austin, TX address per the IRS instructions. The key was using certified mail with return receipt requested (USPS Form 3811). This provided me with definitive proof of delivery and receipt by the IRS. The tracking showed delivery within 4 business days. I appreciate everyone's input on this thread - extremely helpful for navigating post-divorce tax adjustments.
