Future Developments

related to Form 4506T-EZ, such as legislation
enacted after it was published, go to

What’s New. As part of its ongoing efforts to
protect taxpayer data, the Internal Revenue
Service announced that in July 2019, it will
stop all third-party mailings of requested
transcripts. After this date masked Tax
Transcripts will only be mailed to the
taxpayer’s address of record.
If a third-party is unable to accept a Tax
Transcript mailed to the taxpayer, they may
either contract with an existing IVES
participant or become an IVES participant
themselves. For additional information about
the IVES program, go to www.irs.gov and
search IVES.
General Instructions
Caution. Do not sign this form unless all
applicable lines have been completed.
Purpose of form. Individuals can use Form
4506T-EZ to request a tax return transcript for
the current and the prior three years that
includes most lines of the original tax return.
The tax return transcript will not show
payments, penalty assessments, or
adjustments made to the originally filed
return. Form 4506T-EZ cannot be used by
taxpayers who file Form 1040 based on a tax
year beginning in one calendar year and
ending in the following year (fiscal tax year).
Taxpayers using a fiscal tax year must file
Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax
Return, to request a return transcript.
Use Form 4506-T to request tax return
transcripts, tax account information, W-2
information, 1099 information, verification of
non-filing, and record of account.
Customer File Number. The transcripts
provided by the IRS have been modified to
protect taxpayers’ privacy. Transcripts only
display partial personal information, such as
the last four digits of the taxpayer's Social
Security Number. Full financial and tax
information, such as wages and taxable
income, are shown on the transcript.
An optional Customer File Number field is
available to use when requesting a transcript.
This number will print on the transcript. See
Line 5 instructions for specific requirements.
The customer file number is an optional field
and not required.

quickly request transcripts by using our
automated self-help service tools. Please visit

Your Tax Records” under “Tools” or call
