In this case, the notice was returned as undeliverable; however, the IRS was not on notice of a change in address at the time of mailing. The court held that the IRS complied with the statutory and regulatory requirements by simply sending the notice to the Plaintiff’s <em>last known address</em>.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a> A taxpayer’s last known address is the most recent address that the IRS has on record, typically through the taxpayer’s most recently filed return or separate notice provided by the taxpayer.</p> <p>Clients are often surprised to learn that the IRS is generally not obligated to confirm that its notices and letters, including those relating to additional tax assessments and/or enforced collection activity have been received. They are even more surprised when a significant refund check that they are expecting is sent to an old or wrong address, requiring us to initiate a refund trace. There are, however, several ways for taxpayers to advise the IRS that an address change has occurred.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a> It is important that these requests be submitted promptly, as it can take four to six weeks for a change of address request to be fully processed.</p> <hr/> <p><a href="#_ftnref1" name="_ftn1">[1]</a> <em>Mihalcheon v.
