What is IRS Form 4506-T?
If you need a transcript of your tax return, you should file IRS Form 4506-T. A tax return transcript will show most lines from your tax return as it was filed originally, but it will not contain any changes made after the original filing. There is no fee for this service. This form also allows you to have the tax return transcript sent to a third party. The transcript is usually an acceptable form of documentation for lending institutions. You will need to fill out a new form for each requested document. This form is not to be confused with IRS Form 4506, which allows you to order a copy of your tax return for a small fee.
