Form 8822-B is the IRS form a business or other entity with an EIN uses to report a new business mailing address, a new business location or a new responsible party. The IRS says a responsible party change must be reported within 60 days. If you file it for several entities, upload a completed one and a blank, then review.
Tested with the irs.gov edition dated Rev. 12-2019
irs.gov says Form 8822-B is for businesses and other entities with an Employer Identification Number application on file, to notify the IRS if you changed your business mailing address, your business location or the identity of your responsible party. If you are also changing your home address, the form says to use Form 8822 for that change. RepeatForm does not decide whether you need to file.
The two are not equal. The form's instructions say any entity with an EIN is required to report a change in its responsible party, on lines 8 and 9, within 60 days of the change, and that use of the form is mandatory in that case. Otherwise use of the form is voluntary, and the instructions say you will not be subject to penalties for failing to file it. They add that if you do not give the IRS your current mailing address, you may not receive a notice of deficiency or a notice of demand for tax, and that penalties and interest continue to accrue regardless. The form asks for the new responsible party's name and SSN, ITIN or EIN; the instructions point to the Form SS-4 instructions for who may be a responsible party. RepeatForm cannot tell you who yours is.
The form has a Where To File table with two mailing addresses, chosen by the state of your old business address. The IRS says to send the form to the address shown for you and says it generally takes 4 to 6 weeks to process the change. The IRS responsible-party page adds that if you have not received a confirmation letter within 60 days, you mail a copy of the form with "Second Request" written on it. The form and the IRS page describe mailing the form. RepeatForm does not send anything: it prepares the PDF for you to print, sign and mail as the IRS says.
The instructions say an officer, owner, general partner or LLC member manager, plan administrator, fiduciary or an authorized representative must sign. If you are a representative signing for the taxpayer, you attach a copy of your power of attorney to the form, and the instructions say Form 2848 can be used for that. They also say the IRS will not complete an address or responsible party change from an unauthorized third party.
Upload a Form 8822-B you completed and a blank one; RepeatForm carries the matching answers across; you review them, then preview the PDF before you export. This helps if you file for several entities, for example as a bookkeeper or preparer, or if you own several businesses that move together. If you file it once for one business, you may not need RepeatForm for it.
Line 10 is a declaration under penalties of perjury. The Form 8822-B PDF has no signature or date field, so nothing is carried and both stay blank for you to complete by hand on the printed form. The title line and the optional daytime telephone number are yours to check.
The IRS revises Form 8822-B from time to time; the PDF checked here is Rev. December 2019. Carrying a prior copy into a new blank works for many answers, but some fields may be renamed or moved and match only partly, so check every line on the new form in Review before you export.
