IRS Provides Center Addresses to Tax Professionals

WASHINGTON - As the Internal Revenue Service reassigns workloads at its processing centers, some taxpayers may be filing their tax returns at different locations from the previous year. Because many tax professionals will need the addresses to IRS centers before the tax filing season (January 1 – April 15), the IRS is providing them today to be used for tax year 2002 returns that will be filed during filing season 2003.

The IRS continues to redistribute workload among the 10 processing centers that process tax returns. Redistributing work among the centers is an example of the commitment of the IRS to provide better service to taxpayers.

For those who file paper returns, the new center addresses will be provided on the envelopes in the tax packages. For these taxpayers, our reallocation of workload to different centers will be seamless.

Taxpayers who e-file will not be affected by these changes for paper returns. More than a third of all individuals choose to e-file their federal tax returns.
