Form 4506

1. What is a 4506 Form?

The fillable Form 4506 is an official tax form by the IRS (US Internal Revenue Service) that is designed to let you request a copy of your annual tax return. Usually, this form is required for disclosure of the tax information to banks and similar third-parties that have the right to request this information. A reissued document can serve as proof of the financial stability of the claimant. No supporting documentation is required. 

2. What I need the 4506 Form for?

• This form can be used to requesting a copy (or multiple copies) of your W-2, 1120, 1040, 941, or another tax return form;
• Submit the form to get copies of tax returns for the last seven years or less. 

Don’t use the form itself as proof of financial stability as it doesn’t carry the needed information and serves only as a request to the IRS.
