As you get started with us, we'll ask for a few specific addresses to ensure everything from tax filings to official correspondence is handled smoothly. Here’s a quick guide to what each address type means for you and your business.
Why These Addresses Matter
Keeping these addresses up to date ensures that you receive vital communications without delay and helps maintain compliance with legal and tax obligations. It also ensures that all documentation and filings are consistent, which is crucial for the smooth operation of your business.
Work Address
This is the physical location where you perform your work. For most, this will be the primary place of business, such as your company’s headquarters. Please note, this address must be a physical location—PO Boxes, PMBs, or virtual addresses are not acceptable for this purpose.
If you work from home: Your home address will also be your work address.
For filings: This address will be used for local, state, and federal filings and should match the business address you have registered with the IRS. It is crucial as it represents where your principal business activities occur.
Updating IRS records: If your current work address differs from what is registered with the IRS, it’s essential to update your records using IRS form 8822-B.
Mailing Address
This is the address where you prefer to receive your mail. It can be different from your home or work address and can be a PO Box, a PMB, or even a virtual address. The IRS, as well as state and local tax agencies, will use this address for sending important notices and correspondence.
