How to fill out Form 4506 (sp)

  1. 1

    Lines 1a and 1b

    Enter the name shown first on the return. Enter that person's SSN or ITIN, or the business EIN. For a Form 1040 that includes Schedule C, the instructions say to enter your SSN.

  2. 2

    Lines 3 and 4

    Enter your current address, including a P.O. box if you use one, and the address on your last return if it differs. If the IRS does not have the new address, the instructions say to file Form 8822 or 8822-B with this request.

  3. 3

    Lines 5 and 6

    Name the third party on line 5 if one should receive the copy. On line 6, enter one return number only. Another type of return needs another Form 4506 (sp).

  4. 4

    Line 7

    Enter the date each year or period ends. The line asks for dd/mm/aaaa, while the instructions on page 3 say mm/dd/aaaa and give 12/31/2018 for a 2018 Form 1040. List each quarter for quarterly returns.

  5. 5

    Lines 8 and 9

    Multiply $30 by the number of returns. Make the check or money order payable to "United States Treasury" and write your SSN, ITIN or EIN and the English words "Form 4506 (sp) request" on it. Check line 9 to send any refund to the line 5 third party.

  6. 6

    Sign

    Check the attestation box, or the form is returned unprocessed. Sign and date it. The IRS has to receive it within 120 days of the signature date. If your name changed, also sign your current name.

Where to mail it, fee and timing

Where to mail

Mail the form and payment to the RAIVS Team address for the state you lived in, or where the business operated, when the return was filed: Austin, TX 73301; Kansas City, MO 64999; or Ogden, UT 84409.

Two charts

One chart covers individual returns (the Form 1040 series) and one covers all other returns. For several years that fall under two addresses, use the address for the most recent return.

Fee and refund

The fee is $30 for each return requested, and a request without full payment is rejected. If the IRS cannot find the return, the form says the fee is refunded.

Processing time

The instructions say it can take up to 75 calendar days to process the request.

How long copies exist

Copies of Forms 1040, 1040-A and 1040-EZ are generally available for 7 years from filing. Other returns may be available longer.

Faster options

For a transcript instead of a copy, the form points to Get Transcript at www.irs.gov/espanol or 1-800-908-9946: tax return, tax account, record of account and wage and income transcripts, and a verification of non-filing letter.
