What tax are you filing returns for? If you are asking about federal income tax then you use the address for where you are living when you file them. So if you file, say, returns for 2014-2017 today, you would use the address where you are living today, not where you lived in the past. If the address on your green card is not your current residence then don't use the address on your green card. Use the address where you now live.

The question is a little vague. As TM points out, it's your current address. The IRS wants your residence address even if you don't normally have your mail sent there. They'll accept a PO Box only if the USPS will not deliver mail to your residence.

By the way, if you've moved you have ten days to tell CIS your new address.

If you are getting a refund and if you don't want a check mailed to that address, be sure to fill out the banking information on your return that allows the refund to directly deposited in your bank account.
