The IRS has a specific mailing address for business taxes, and it's essential to get it right to avoid delays and potential penalties. The IRS uses a centralized processing center for business tax returns, which is the Cincinnati Processing Center.
To ensure your business tax return is processed efficiently, you should mail it to the Cincinnati Processing Center at the following address: Internal Revenue Service, Cincinnati Processing Center, 5000 Austell Road, P.O. Box 802551, Cincinnati, OH 45280-0351.
Make sure to use the correct address and not the address for individual tax returns, which is different.
Business Taxes
Business taxes can be complex, but understanding the basics can help you navigate the process with ease. There are different types of business taxes, and the IRS requires you to pay taxes based on the type of business you own and the state you do business in.
The IRS has a list of tax forms that you'll need to file, including the 1040, Schedule C, and Schedule E. You'll also need to file Schedule SE for self-employment tax. For a complete list of tax forms, consult a business tax professional or visit the IRS's tax forms and instructions page.
You can e-file most U.S. trust and business returns, but some forms, like the 3520, 3520-A, and 709, must be mailed. The mailing address for these forms is the Internal Revenue Service Center in Ogden, UT, or the Department of the Treasury in Kansas City, MO, depending on the form.

Business taxes can be a real headache, but knowing where to mail your returns can make the process a lot smoother. The IRS has different mailing addresses for various types of returns, and it's essential to get it right to avoid delays.
You can e-file most U.S. business returns, including forms 1041, 1120, 1120-S, and 1065. However, if you're submitting returns for previous years or during the IRS winter maintenance period, you'll need to mail them.
There are specific mailing addresses for different types of returns, and it depends on the state where your business is incorporated, the number of gross receipts, and whether you're enclosing payment.
For example, if you're from Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin, you'll mail your Form 941 to Kansas City, MO 64999-0005 without payment, and to Cincinnati, OH 45280-6532 with payment.
Here's a breakdown of the Form 941 mailing addresses for 2024:
If you're using a Private Delivery Service (PDS) to mail your return, be sure to select the mailing address listed on IRS.gov/PDSstreetAddresses that's in the same state as the address to which you'd mail returns filed without payment.
Income Tax
Income tax is a crucial aspect of business taxes. It's used to determine the taxable income of a business.
The IRS requires businesses to file specific tax forms, which vary depending on the type of business. For example, sole proprietors and single-member LLCs use Schedule C (Form 1040), while partnerships use Schedule E (Form 1040).
S corporations, on the other hand, file Form 1120-S and distribute Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S) to shareholders. C corporations, however, file Form 1120.
Self-employment tax is also a separate tax form, Schedule SE (Form 1040), which applies to sole proprietors and single-member LLCs.
