Do not use this form to request tax account

Mortgage Revenue Bonds.—States

issuing mortgage revenue bonds are

required to verify that the mortgage

applicant did not own a home during the 3

previous years. As part of this verification,

the mortgage lender may want proof that

you did not claim interest or real estate tax

deductions for a residence on your tax

return. If you have a copy of your tax return,

or if it was filled out by a paid preparer and

you can get a copy, the mortgage lender can

accept your signed copy.

If you filed Form 1040A or 1040EZ, you

can request tax account information to help

satisfy the verification requirement. To do

this, do not complete this form. Instead,

contact your local IRS office for this

information.

If you filed Form 1040, you may have to

get a copy of it to verify that you did not

claim any itemized deductions for a

residence. To get a copy, complete Form

4506 and write “Mortgage Revenue Bond”

across the top.

Lines 3a and 3b.— If you have named

someone else to receive the tax form (such

as a CPA, scholarship board, or mortgage

lender), show the name of an individual and

the address on line 3a to ensure the copy

gets to the right person. If you checked the

box on line 3b, we will refund the payment

for the copies to the third party.

Line 4.— Enter the name of the client,

student, or applicant if it is different from

the name shown on line 1. For example, line

1 may be the parents of a student applying

for financial aid. Show the student’s name

on line 4 so the scholarship board can

associate the tax form with their file. If we

cannot find a record of your tax form, we

will notify the third party directly that we

cannot fill the request.

Line 5.—If you need only a copy of your

Form(s) W-2, check the box for Copy of

Form(s) W-2 only. Also, on line 8 show

“Form(s) W-2 only” and on line 10c show

“no charge.”

Form W-2 is not available until 6 weeks

after you file it with your tax return (for

example, Form 1040). Otherwise, Form

W-2 information is only available 18 months

after it is submitted by your employer. (If

you lost your Form W-2 or have not received

it by the time you are ready to prepare your

tax return, contact your employer.)

Lines 6a and 6b.—For individuals, enter

the social security number as shown on the

tax form. For jointly filed tax forms, show

the husband’s social security number on

line 6a and the wife’s on line 6b. If you do

not furnish this information, there may be a

delay in processing your request.

Line 7.—Enter your employer identification

number only if you are requesting a copy of

a business tax form. Otherwise, leave this

line blank.

Line 9.—Enter the year(s) of the tax form

you are requesting. For fiscal-year filers or

requests for quarterly tax forms, enter the

date the period ended; for example, 1986

for an annual filed tax form or 3/31/86,

6/30/86, etc. for a quarterly filed tax form.

If you need more than four different tax

periods, use additional Forms 4506. Tax

forms that were filed 6 or more years ago

may not be available for making copies.

However, tax account information is

generally still available for these periods.

See Tax Account Information Only.

Line 10.—Write your social security

number or Federal employer identification

number and “Form 4506 Request” on your

check or money order. If we cannot fill your

request, we will refund your payment.

Signature.—Form 4506 must be received

by IRS within 60 days following the date

upon which you signed and dated the

request.

Requests for copies of tax forms to be

sent to a third party must be signed by the

person whose name is shown on line 1.

Copies of jointly filed tax forms may be

furnished to either the husband or the wife.

Only one signature is required. Sign Form

4506 exactly as your name appeared on the

original tax form. If your name has changed,

also sign with your current name.

For a corporation, the signature of the

president of the corporation, or any

principal officer and the secretary, or the

principal officer and another officer are

generally required. Further rules on who

may obtain tax information on

corporations, partnerships, estates, and

trusts are detailed in Internal Revenue

Code section 6103.

If you are not the taxpayer shown on

line 1, you must attach your authorization to

receive a copy of the requested tax form. An

authorization must specifically state what

tax form and period(s) is covered, and that

it may be supplied to the person designated

authority. You may send a copy of the

authorization document if the original has

already been filed with IRS. This will

generally be a power of attorney, or other

authorization such as evidence of

entitlement (for Title 11 Bankruptcy or

Receivership Proceeding). If the taxpayer is

deceased, you must send Letters

Testamentary or other evidence to establish

that you are authorized to act for the

taxpayer's estate.

Where To File. —Mail Form 4506 with the

correct total payment attached to the

Internal Revenue Service Center for the

place where you lived when the requested

tax form was filed.

Note: You must use a separate form for

each service center from which you are

requesting a copy of your tax form.
