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.
