If you are not having your tax refund directly deposited into your bank account, the IRS will deliver it to the address that is listed on your tax return. A post office box, or P.O. Box, is acceptable to use as your permanent address on your return if you do not have your mail delivered to your home.
Step 1
Place the phrase “P.O. Box,” with your post office box number, on the street line of the address section on your tax return.
Step 2
Write the city, state and zip code of your post office box on the indicated line in the address section of your tax return.
Step 3
Check your P.O. Box regularly to pick up your tax refund when it arrives.
