Direct answer: Where to mail Form 4547

Mail IRS Form 4547 to the address printed in the Form 4547 instructions for your situation, or look up the correct service center with the IRS paper returns locator. There is no single national PO box that works for every filer — the address depends on your state and whether a payment is enclosed.

Key Takeaways

  • Prefer e-file — attach Form 4547 to your tax return when you can.
  • Mailing address is on the form instructions / IRS locator — not a random blog PO box.
  • Mail is the slowest option (often 4–8 weeks).
  • Already filed without Form 4547? Use trumpaccounts.gov when available.

Parents searching where to mail Form 4547 usually want a street address. The accurate answer is: use the IRS instructions for Form 4547 and the IRS where-to-file tool for your state. Publishing a stale address here would send your election to the wrong center.

Step-by-step if you must mail

  1. Download the current PDF from IRS.gov — About Form 4547.
  2. Read the Form 4547 instructions for the mailing address that matches your situation.
  3. Confirm with the Where to File Paper Tax Returns page if you are attaching the form to a paper Form 1040.
  4. Sign in ink, keep a copy, and use certified mail or a tracking option if you want proof of delivery.
  5. Expect slower processing than e-file — then watch for activation from no-reply@TrumpAccounts.Treasury.gov.

📜 What the IRS prefers

“The fastest, safest, and easiest way to make the election is to file Form 4547 with your current-year e-filed tax return.” — Form 4547 instructions (paraphrased intent; always verify on IRS.gov).

Better options than mail

⚠️ Do not use random addresses from social media
