Will PO Box be accepted for E-File?

[Yardley CPA]

Client has a PO Box.  Can he use that on his return and will it be accepted for E-File?  He currently lives with family.  If he had to, he could use their physical address but was wondering if PO Box is okay?

Below is from the instructions of Form 8822.  Based on that, it would seem a PO Box would be accepted?

P.O. Box

Enter your box number instead of your street address only if your post office does not deliver mail to your street address.

I've used a PO Box on my own return for years.

Just about anything is OK for tax returns.  It's the banks that need your physical location (and sometimes the secretary of state, that kind of thing, for identification), but I don't do bank products so use whatever my clients chose to use as their mailing addresses and e-file most returns.

Likewise  I have many clients who use a POWERFUL box and I have never had a problem.

just make sure you put it in as PO BOX, I have found that P.O. BOX can cause issues with some states. when creating the e-file.
