IRS Form 4506 is an official document used by individuals or organizations to request a full photocopy of a previously filed tax return from the Internal Revenue Service, for a $30 fee per return. Note: Form 4506 is mailed, not faxed, and the correct IRS address depends on the state you lived in when you filed, not your current mailing address. If you only need a transcript rather than a full copy, the free Form 4506-T can be faxed instead.

Mit dem Formular 4506 können Steuerzahler eine vollständige Fotokopie ihrer zuvor eingereichten Bundeseinkommensteuererklärung anfordern, einschließlich aller Anhänge (wie z. B. W-2s, 1099s und Anlagen). Es unterscheidet sich von Formular 4506-T, das nur Abschriften, nicht aber vollständige Kopien liefert.
Form 4506 requests a full photocopy of your tax return and must be mailed to the IRS with a $30 fee per return, there is currently no IRS fax option for Form 4506 itself. Mail to the address for the state you lived in when you filed:
If you only need proof of your return's figures rather than an exact photocopy, most requesters qualify for the free Form 4506-T instead, and the IRS does accept that one by fax: 855-587-9604 (Austin), 855-298-1145 (Ogden), or 855-821-0094 (Kansas City), based on the state you lived in when you filed. Fax.Plus can send Form 4506-T to the right number directly from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation.
Form 4506 itself has to be mailed to the IRS along with your $30 payment, there is currently no IRS fax line for the full-copy request. Most people who reach for Form 4506 actually only need to prove what was on their return, not an exact photocopy of it, in which case Fax.Plus lets you fax the free Form 4506-T straight to the right RAIVS team from a computer, phone, or email, with a timestamped delivery confirmation you would not get by mail.
Form 4506 requests a complete photocopy of a filed tax return for a $30 fee, mailed to you or a third party. Form 4506-T requests a free transcript, a summary of the return's line items, and can be faxed to the IRS RAIVS team. Form 4506-C is a lender-only version of the transcript request, used exclusively by IRS IVES-enrolled institutions like mortgage companies to pull a borrower's transcript directly, it's not something an individual taxpayer files or faxes themselves.
$30 for each return you request on Form 4506, payable to the United States Treasury and due with your request or it will be rejected. If you only need a transcript rather than a full copy, Form 4506-T covers most of the same purposes and is free.
Up to 75 calendar days from when the IRS receives your Form 4506. If your situation allows it, such as income verification for a lender or school, ask whether a transcript from Form 4506-T would work instead, those typically move faster.
Copies of Form 1040, 1040A, and 1040EZ returns are generally available for 7 years from the filing date before the IRS destroys them by law. Other return types may be available longer. You can only request one return type per Form 4506, so submit a separate form for each type you need.
No. Form 4506 requires your signature and a checked box confirming you have the authority to request the return, not notarization. For a jointly filed return, only one spouse needs to sign, and the IRS must receive the form within 120 days of the signature date.
Requesting a copy of a filed tax return rarely comes up on its own. Here's what else comes up around IRS filings, tax records, and third-party fax submissions.
