Caution: DRAFT—NOT FOR FILING
This is an early release draft of an IRS tax form, instructions, or publication,
which the IRS is providing for your information. Do not file draft forms and do
not rely on draft forms, instructions, and publications for filing. We do not release
draft forms until we believe we have incorporated all changes (except when
explicitly stated on this coversheet). However, unexpected issues occasionally
arise, or legislation is passed—in this case, we will post a new draft of the form to
alert users that changes were made to the previously posted draft. Thus, there
are never any changes to the last posted draft of a form and the final revision of
the form. Forms and instructions generally are subject to OMB approval before
they can be officially released, so we post only drafts of them until they are
approved. Drafts of instructions and publications usually have some changes
before their final release.
Early release drafts are at IRS.gov/DraftForms and remain there after the final
release is posted at IRS.gov/LatestForms. All information about all forms,
instructions, and pubs is at IRS.gov/Forms.
Almost every form and publication has a page on IRS.gov with a friendly
shortcut. For example, the Form 1040 page is at IRS.gov/Form1040; the Pub.
501 page is at IRS.gov/Pub501; the Form W-4 page is at IRS.gov/W4; and the
Schedule A (Form 1040/SR) page is at IRS.gov/ScheduleA. If typing in a link
above instead of clicking on it, be sure to type the link into the address bar of
your browser, not a Search box.
If you wish, you can submit comments to the IRS about draft or final forms,
instructions, or publications at IRS.gov/FormsComments. We cannot respond to
all comments due to the high volume we receive and may not be able to consider
many suggestions until the subsequent revision of the product.
If you have comments on reducing paperwork and respondent (filer) burden, with
respect to draft or final forms, please respond to the relevant information
collection through the Federal Register process; for more info, click here.

Line 6. Enter only one tax form number (1040, 1065,
1120, etc.) per request for all line 6 transcripts request
types.
Line 6a. Return Transcript includes most of the line items
of a tax return as filed with the IRS. A tax return transcript
does not reflect changes made 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-H, Form 1120-L, and Form 1120-S.
Return transcripts are available for the current year and
returns processed during the prior 3 processing years.
Line 6b. Account Transcript 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.
Line 6c. Record of Account 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.
Line 7. The IRS can provide a transcript that includes
data from these information returns: Form W-2, Form
1099 series, Form 1098 series, or Form 5498 series
transcript. Enter up to three information return types. If no
specific type is requested, all forms will be provided. 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, Form W-2
information for 2016, filed in 2017, will likely not be
available from the IRS until 2018. If you need Form W-2
information for retirement purposes, you should contact
the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213.
Line 8. Enter the end date of the tax year or period
requested in mm dd yyyy format. This may be a calendar
year, fiscal year or quarter. Enter each quarter requested
for quarterly returns. Example: Enter 12 31 2018 for a
