self-help service tools. Please visit us at IRS.gov and click on “Get a Tax Transcript...” under “Tools” or call 1-800-908-9946. If you need a copy of your return, use Form 4506,
Request for Copy of Tax Return. There is a fee to get a copy of your return.

shown first.

and telephone number.
Caution: If the tax transcript is being mailed to a third party, ensure that you have filled in lines 6 through 9 before signing. Sign and date the form once you have
filled in these lines. Completing these steps helps to protect your privacy. Once the IRS discloses your tax transcript to the third party listed on line 5, the IRS has no
control over what the third party does with the information. If you would like to limit the third party’s authority to disclose your transcript information, you can
specify this limitation in your written agreement with the third party.

to the account after the return is processed. Transcripts are only available for the following returns: Form 1040 series, Form 1065, Form 1120, Form
1120-A, Form 1120-H, Form 1120-L, and Form 1120S. Return transcripts are available for the current year and returns processed during the prior 3
processing years. Most requests will be processed within 10 business days . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
b
Account Transcript, which contains information on the financial status of the account, such as payments made on the account, penalty assessments,
and adjustments made by you or the IRS after the return was filed. Return information is limited to items such as tax liability and estimated tax
payments. Account transcripts are available for most returns. Most requests will be processed within 10 business days . . . . . . . . .
c Record of Account, which provides the most detailed information as it is a combination of the Return Transcript and the Account Transcript.
Available for current year and 3 prior tax years. Most requests will be processed within 10 business days . . . . . . . . . . . .

Form W-2, Form 1099 series, Form 1098 series, or Form 5498 series transcript. The IRS can provide a transcript that includes data from these
information returns. State or local information is not included with the Form W-2 information. The IRS may be able to provide this transcript information for
up to 10 years. Information for the current year is generally not available until the year after it is filed with the IRS. For example, W-2 information for 2011,
filed in 2012, will likely not be available from the IRS until 2013. If you need W-2 information for retirement purposes, you should contact the Social Security
Administration at 1-800-772-1213. Most requests will be processed within 10 business days . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
