where we file

[oceanlovin'ea]

I just noticed that Florida doesn't send returns to Atlanta this year. We send to Austin, Texas or Charlotte, NC if there is a payment enclosed.

I didn't know that. It slipped by me. I am glad I looked it up before I got the envelope ready for this 1040X I am doing for 2009.

Did everyone else catch this?

I check irs.org for where to send at the beginning of each tax season for just this reason

Do you mean irs.gov? It looks like irs.org is an ad-driven site.

Be careful of correct address for mailed returns!

Not sure exactly where you got the address, but you may wish to check page 5 here:
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040x.pdf which shows the mailing addresses specific to Form 1040X.

FWIW, I did not see any distinction between different addresses for refund/balance due for a Form 1040X.

You may be confusing the information for "normal" Forms 1040 (not amended) as shown on page 100 here:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf

Also, while the topic is being discussed re mailing tax returns: In the past the IRS used different mailing addresses for a self-prepared tax return versus a professional (paid) tax return. Since I efile virtually everything, I don't keep track of that issue any more but I am quite certain there were "different" mailing addresses in the past! (Your software should already "know" that for any client cover/instruction letters?? )

Nice "bookmark" material. Danke!

Like I said, I don't really get involved in "mailing" anything these days, but for those stalwarts who do, this link should cover things.

For a similar reason, it appears there is no longer any distinction between returns prepared/not prepared by a third party?? ("These Where to File addresses are to be used ONLY by TAXPAYERS AND TAX PROFESSIONALS filing individual federal tax returns in _____ during Calendar Year 2012.")

I got the address from The TaxBook tab 16 page 1.

The instructions for the 1040X also says send to Austin.

I always check the address in the Tax Book tab 16. All the addresses are right there.
