filled in this line. Completing this step helps to protect your privacy. Once the IRS discloses your IRS transcript to the third party listed on line 5, the

information, you can specify this limitation in your written agreement with the third party.

not been filed, the IRS will notify you or the third party that it was unable to locate a return, or that a return was not filed, whichever is applicable.

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.

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
