Future Developments
For the latest information about developments
related to Form 4506T-EZ, such as legislation
enacted after it was published, go to
www.irs.gov/form4506tez.
The filing location for the Form 4506T-EZ has
changed. Please see the Where to File
section for your new mailing location.
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

either contract with an existing IVES

themselves. For additional information about
the IVES program, go to www.irs.gov and
search IVES.

General Instructions

applicable lines have been completed.
