Section 7603(b)(1) (summons by mail to third-party record keeper); and

.02 The Service generally will use the address on the most recently filed and properly processed return as the address of record for all the notices set forth in section 2.01 above. However, the Service may update the taxpayer’s address of record by using United States Postal Service’s (USPS) National Change of Address database (NCOA database) in accordance with Treas. Reg. § 301.6212–2 (effective January 29, 2001). If a taxpayer wishes to change the address of record, the taxpayer must give clear and concise notification as provided by this revenue procedure. The terms “return,” “properly processed,” “address on return,” and “clear and concise notification” are defined in section 5 below.
