Where to Send Form 4506-T: Mailing and Faxing Addresses

Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, is an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) document used to obtain a free transcript of your tax records. These transcripts are computer printouts of your return information, often required by lenders for mortgage or student loan applications to verify income, and summarize key data from your filed return.

Completing Form 4506-T Before Sending

Before sending your request, ensure you have the most current version of Form 4506-T from the IRS website. Enter your name and Social Security Number (or Employer Identification Number for businesses) on line 1a exactly as they appeared on your tax return. Your current address is entered on line 3, and if the address on the tax return you are requesting was different, you must enter that previous address on line 4.

Specify the type of transcript you need on line 6, such as “Return Transcript” for Form 1040, and enter the specific years on line 7. The form must be signed and dated by the taxpayer listed on line 1a. The IRS must receive the form within 120 days of the signature date, as unsigned or late forms are common reasons for rejection.

Mailing and Faxing Addresses

The correct mailing address or fax number for Form 4506-T depends on the state where you lived when the tax return was filed. The IRS uses different processing centers based on this location, so you must send your request to the correct one to avoid delays.

What Happens After You Send the Form

After you mail or fax the form, the IRS typically processes the request within 10 business days. For security, the transcript is not sent to any third party and is mailed directly to the taxpayer’s address of record. This is the address from your most recently processed tax return or an address updated using Form 8822, Change of Address.

For a faster method, the IRS provides a “Get Transcript” tool on its website. This online service allows registered users to view, print, or download their transcripts immediately, which is a quicker alternative to waiting for a mailed response.
