Future Developments

What's New. 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, is shown
on the transcript.
A new optional Customer File Number field is
available to use when requesting a transcript.
You have the option of inputting a number,
such as a loan number, in this field. You can
input up to 10 numeric characters. The
customer file number should not contain an
SSN. This number will print on the transcript.
The customer file number is an optional field
and not required.
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. You can also designate (on line 5) a
third party (such as a mortgage company) to
receive a transcript. 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.
Automated transcript request. You can
quickly request transcripts by using our
automated self-help service tools. Please visit
us at IRS.gov and click on “Get Transcript of
Your Tax Records” under “Tools” or call
