5558 Street Address?

[Lou S.]

Trying to send off our Extensions Form 5558 via UPS for proof of delivery today and the IRS address on the form is simply

Department of the Treasury
IRS
Ogden, UT 84201-0045

No street address.

Can we use the 5500-EZ filing address for private delivery service?

Internal Revenue Submission Processing Center

1973 North Rulon White Blvd.

Ogden, UT 84404

This address is not in the 5558 instructions but is in the 5500-EZ

In June I sent 5558 to the Ogden address -- no street -- and received the return receipt. I.e., it worked. I personally would be reluctant to try the street address given I received the acknowledgement without it.

We send all of our Form 5558 without the street address via certified mail every year. No issues have happened.

My understanding is (and it could be the wrong understanding) that with the 9 digit zip code the last part of the zip gets it done. That part of the IRS gets so much mail that only the section of the IRS has that last two digits for a zip code.

If you're sending by US Mail then you don't need the street address. We've been using the North Rulon White Blvd. address for a number of years, via UPS, with success. I think I remember someone having a problem with FedEx but I think they didn't use the street address - that generally won't work with a delivery service.
