-
Check the box to certify your tax-exempt organization status. Select the boxes that apply in your case - it is likely the information on your tax returns will be different or the location of your business will be different.
-
Identify your business by its name and employer identification number . Record your previous address - make sure you include all the details you submitted to the IRS in the past. There are separate guidelines for organizations that conducted their operations abroad - you will have to list the name of the country, the county or province, and the postal code in fields designed for that purpose.
-
State your new address . Once again, if you are located abroad, you must list additional details that allow tax authorities to reach out to you without any trouble.

-
Write down the name and taxpayer identification number of the new responsible party if necessary . This should be an individual permitted to act in the name of the entity - someone who manages your organization and determines how the company will dispose of its finances.
-
Certify the papers verifying the details you have put in writing are true and accurate . Enter the telephone number of the person the IRS can contact in case they have any questions, add your title, indicate the actual date, and sign the form.
