Is This Letter Right for You?
Use this letter if
- You already submitted or updated your organization's information with the IRS.
- Your e-file was still rejected for a mismatch after that update.
-
You need the IRS to correct its e-file database, not your
own records.
Not the right fit if
- You haven't updated your address or responsible party with the IRS yet. Use Form 8822-B instead.
- You're changing information for the first time rather than fixing an IRS record that's still out of date.
