The SBA 4506-T form is a request to get a copy of your tax return transcript. You may also ask for the tax account information and forms W-2 and 1099 data. When you fill out the SBA 4506-T form, you send it to the IRS and wait while they process your application. You may only ask for the data of one form. If you want to get a copy of several forms and tax returns, you should fill out different 4506-T forms.
The IRS can provide you with information about your tax returns for the last ten years or less. However, you can’t request the current year's data. It becomes available only after one year of filing the form. The IRS tax Form 4506-T is usually required when you file for the loan, and your lender wants you to confirm your income match. It’s not obligatory in all cases when you apply for a loan. If you want to know how to get Form 4506-T, there is a guide on our website.
Form 4506-T doesn’t require you to fill out a lot of information. You just need to indicate the main data that will help the IRS to make a copy of your tax return. Let’s look at Form 4506-T filling instructions.
Step 1: in line 1a, you have to write the name that is shown on the tax return. If you’re requesting the joint tax return, you need the one that is indicated first. Line 1b should contain your Employer Identification Number if you file the form for the business tax return. In another case, you can fill out your Individual Taxpayer Identification Number or Social Security Number.
Step 2: the second line is for the case of the joint tax return. Here you should indicate your spouse’s name and their Social Security Number or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
Step 3: line 3 should contain your current address. Indicate the details like room, suite no., and P.O. box.
Step 4: if you moved to the new address, and the previous tax return has the old address, you should write it in line 4. If you didn’t change your address, just proceed to line 5.
Step 5: line 5 requires your customer file number if you have one.
Step 6: in line 6, you should choose the form you want to get. Also, you should decide whether you need a Return Transcript, Account Transcript, or Record of the Account. The difference between them is described in the form.
Step 7: line 7 is verification of non-filing. It means that you confirm you didn’t file the tax return for the current year.
Step 8: if you want to get a W-2, 1099, or 5498 transcripts, you should put a tick in line 8. However, you have to contact the payer first. Also, you should fill out the 4506 form to get a copy of your return with all the attachments if you want to get a W-2 or 1099 copy.
Step 9: in line 9, you should indicate the tax return periods. You have to fill out each year or period separately. Only four periods can be filed with one 4506-T form. If you want to file for more, you should fill out another 4506-T form.
Step 10: the last thing to do is to sign the form. If you’re requesting a joint tax return, at least one spouse should sign it. In case you fill out a 4506-T form for your business, you should write a title too. Don’t forget to indicate a phone number to allow the IRS to contact you if there are any issues.
