Where to file Form 843?

Form 843 is a tax form issued by the Internal Revenue Service that allows a taxpayer to request a refund or abatement.

You may face penalties from the IRS if you fail to address where to file Form 843.

For instance, you may have overpaid your social security or Medicare taxes, or your employer withheld too much. If you’ve made an error on your tax return, you can file Form 843 to get a refund.
