WASHINGTON - As taxpayers begin to prepare their tax returns, the Internal Revenue Service reminds them that they may be sending their returns to a different service center than last year. However, 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.
However, taxpayers who did not receive an instruction booklet in the mail, are mailing a paper tax return and live in one of the following 16 states should be aware of the change. Taxpayers in Arizona, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Vermont and Washington will file their tax returns with different Internal Revenue Service Centers during 2003 than they did during 2002.
