Form 4810: Request for Prompt Assessment Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6501(d)

Form 4810, Request for Prompt Assessment Under Internal Revenue Code Section 6501(d), asks the IRS for a prompt assessment of any additional tax on returns that have already been filed. The IRS About page says a fiduciary representing a dissolving corporation or a decedent's estate files this form to request a prompt assessment of tax.

The form has boxes for income, gift, employment and excise tax. It lists each return by form number, tax period ended, SSN or EIN, name and address, the service center where it was filed and the date filed. When corporate income tax returns are included, it asks how far dissolution has gone, and it asks which documents are attached, such as copies of the returns and letters of administration or letters testamentary.
