line was blank at the time of signature.

Tip: You may be able to get your tax return or return information from other sources. If you had your tax return completed by a paid preparer, they

should be able to provide you a copy of the return. The IRS can provide a Tax Return Transcript for many returns free of charge. The transcript

provides most of the line entries from the tax return and usually contains the information that a third party (such as a mortgage company) requires.

See Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, or you can call 1-800-829-1040 to order a transcript.

If the tax return is to be mailed to a third party (such as a mortgage company), enter the third party’s name, address, and telephone

number. The IRS has no control over what the third party does with the tax return.

Caution: If a third party requires you to complete Form 4506, do not sign Form 4506 if lines 6 and 7 are blank.

6

Tax return requested (Form 1040, 1120, 941, etc.) and all attachments as originally submitted to the IRS, including Form(s) W-2,

destroyed by law. Other returns may be available for a longer period of time. Enter only one return number. If you need more than one

type of return, you must complete another Form 4506. 䊳

Specific Instructions

Line 1b. Enter your employer identification

number (EIN) if you are requesting a copy of

a business return. Otherwise, enter the first

social security number (SSN) shown on the

return. For example, if you are requesting

Form 1040 that includes Schedule C (Form

1040), enter your SSN.

Signature and date. Form 4506 must be

signed and dated by the taxpayer listed on

line 1a or 2a. If you completed line 5

requesting the return be sent to a third party,

the IRS must receive Form 4506 within 60

days of the date signed by the taxpayer or it

will be rejected.

Individuals. Copies of jointly filed tax

returns may be furnished to either spouse.

Only one signature is required. Sign Form

4506 exactly as your name appeared on the

original return. If you changed your name,

also sign your current name.

Corporations. Generally, Form 4506 can

be signed by: (1) an officer having legal

authority to bind the corporation, (2) any

person designated by the board of directors

or other governing body, or (3) any officer or

employee on written request by any principal

officer and attested to by the secretary or

other officer.

Partnerships. Generally, Form 4506 can be

signed by any person who was a member of

the partnership during any part of the tax

period requested on line 7.

All others. See section 6103(e) if the

taxpayer has died, is insolvent, is a dissolved

corporation, or if a trustee, guardian,

executor, receiver, or administrator is acting

for the taxpayer.

Documentation. For entities other than

individuals, you must attach the authorization

document. For example, this could be the

letter from the principal officer authorizing an

employee of the corporation or the Letters

Testamentary authorizing an individual to act

for an estate.

Signature by a representative. A

representative can sign Form 4506 for a

taxpayer only if this authority has been

specifically delegated to the representative on

Form 2848, line 5. Form 2848 showing the

delegation must be attached to Form 4506.
