The Internal Revenue Service announced today that taxpayers in Delaware, Illinois, New York and Rhode Island who file paper income tax returns will send them to different processing centers this year.

Taxpayers in Delaware, New York and Rhode Island will now send their tax returns to the IRS Kansas City Service Center in Kansas City, Mo. Taxpayers in Illinois will now send their tax returns to the IRS Fresno Service Center, in Fresno, Calif.

The IRS continuously monitors work flow at its centers and makes appropriate adjustments by altering the volume of returns to be sent to each. Taxpayers who use the envelope provided with the income tax instructions do not have to be concerned with the address change, their returns automatically will go to the correct center.

Taxpayers who e-file will not be affected by the address changes. The majority of filers choose IRS e-file; it’s faster, easier, more accurate and more convenient than filing a paper tax return.

For taxpayers who file paper returns, the correct center addresses are on labels inside the tax packages they receive in the mail. Taxpayers who do not receive a package and need the service center address should refer to the back cover of the instructions to Form 1040, 1040A and 1040EZ.
