Do we need to file the 8822 Change of Address Form in order to receive the automatic extension until June 15th?
In order to receive the two-month extension to June 15th (this is granted to tax-payers living abroad at the time of the April 15th deadline), you are supposed to attach a statement to your 1040 stating and showing that you are living abroad. Submitting the 8822 Change of Address Form in advance sort of works as proof that you are residing abroad. You may be able to receive the two-month extension without submitting the 8822, but either way the IRS recommends that tax-payers who change their address submit the 8822 so that the IRS will have a correct address to send forms and such in the future.
