IRS Compliance Update

Responsible Party
(IRS Update)

Make sure the IRS knows who really controls your company. We manage the change of responsible party and address to avoid missed notifications.

shape
IRS Form 8822-B

Who represents your company to the IRS?

The "Responsible Party" is the person the IRS has on file as the primary controller of the company's funds and assets. Generally, it is whoever originally applied for the EIN.

The problem is common: you hired an agent years ago to open the company, or you had a partner who is no longer there. If that person still appears as Responsible, confidential IRS letters will go to him/her, not you.

⚠️ Why is it urgent to update?

The IRS requires this information to be updated within 60 days of any change.

If the IRS attempts to contact you about an audit or tax issue and the letter goes to an old address or a person no longer associated, you may miss appeal deadlines and suffer liens without even knowing it.

When should you hire this service?

Change of Owner

If you bought an existing LLC or a majority partner sold their share, the IRS must know who the new responsible party is.

Change of Address

If you moved your office or changed virtual address provider, you must notify to receive your tax mail.

Departure of an Agent

If your previous accountant or registered agent processed the EIN using their own name (common but risky practice), you must change it to yours.

Data Security

Ensure that only you have authority to speak with the IRS about your tax account.

Update Process (Form 8822-B)

We handle the bureaucratic paperwork.

Data Collection

We need your current EIN, the name of the old responsible party (if known), and the new responsible party's details.

Submission of Form 8822-B

We fill out and send the official "Change of Address or Responsible Party" form to the corresponding IRS center.

Confirmation

The IRS takes between 4 to 6 weeks to process the change internally. We will notify you when it has been sent.

Frequently Asked Questions

It must be an individual (not another company) who has direct control over the entity. They must have a tax identification number (SSN or ITIN). If you are a foreigner and do not have an ITIN yet, contact us for options.

No. The Registered Agent is the contact for the State (for legal matters/lawsuits). The "Responsible Party" is the contact for the IRS (for tax matters). They are two different entities.

The IRS does not charge to receive the form. However, the form is complex, and sending it to the wrong office can result in it being lost. We charge for correct management, filling, and certified shipping.
