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
