IRS Reminds Filers of Switch in Service Centers

The Internal Revenue Service issued a reminder to taxpayers and tax preparers that certain returns from Arizona, Connecticut, Utah and Virginia need to be sent to different service centers than last year. For tax year 2004, the changes affect Connecticut and Virginia returns with or without payments, and Arizona and Utah returns with payments. o Connecticut returns without payments should be sent to the IRS in Kansas City, Mo. o Connecticut returns with payments should be sent to the IRS in St. Louis. o Virginia returns without payments should be sent to the IRS in Fresno, Calif. o Arizona, Utah and Virginia payments with payments should be sent to the IRS in San Francisco. The envelopes included in the tax packages of taxpayers filing paper returns have the correct center addresses; taxpayers who do not receive a package should refer to the back cover of the Form 1040, 1040-A or 1040EZ instructions. E-filing taxpayers are unaffected by the changes.
