About ZIP Code 45298

The Internal Revenue Service operates under dedicated ZIP code 45298 in Hamilton County, Ohio. The IRS is the federal agency responsible for collecting taxes and administering the Internal Revenue Code, processing hundreds of millions of tax returns annually. For decades, Cincinnati served as one of the IRS's major processing centers, though the Cincinnati Tax Processing Center (physically located in Covington, Kentucky) closed by the end of 2019.

Located in Cincinnati's Central Business District on 4th Street, this unique postal designation has been in service for over two decades. A single delivery code routes mail to the Internal Revenue Service facility. While bulk tax return processing shifted to Kansas City and Ogden after the Cincinnati center closure, specialized IRS correspondence and certain tax-exempt entity matters continue using Cincinnati addresses. Cincinnati serves as the valid mailing city for this designation.
