IRS reminds New Jerseyans mail returns to new address

    As taxpayers begin to prepare their tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service notes that New Jerseyans will be sending their returns to a different service center than last year. Those who received a tax instruction booklet from the IRS in the mail and use the labels included with the booklet can be assured that their tax returns will go to the correct address. Taxpayers who e-file are not affected by this change. Taxpayers in New Jersey will file tax returns with a different center in 2007 than they did during 2006. Taxpayers should be aware of this change only if they did not receive an instruction booklet in the mail and plan on mailing a paper tax return. For taxpayers in New Jersey, the new address is Internal Revenue Service, Kansas City, MO 64999. Taxpayers enclosing a payment should add “-0102” to the zip code listed above if mailing a Form 1040; “-0115” for Form 1040A; or “-0114” for Form 1040EZ. Those not enclosing a payment should add “-0002” if mailing a Form 1040; “-0015” for Form 1040A; or “-0014” for Form 1040EZ. For taxpayers who file paper returns, the correct center addresses are on labels inside the tax packages. Taxpayers who do not receive a package should refer to the back cover of the instructions to Form 1040, 1040-A or 1040EZ. Taxpayers who e-file will not be affected by these changes. This mailing address change is part of an on-going process as the IRS continues to redistribute workload among the IRS centers that process individual tax returns.
