WHAT IS A 4506-C?
The IRS Form 4506-C is the form that must be completed to request a transcript (summary) of your tax return or other tax documentation from the IRS. The IRS processes the request and then returns a transcript to TaxDox electronically. Transcripts from the IRS can be used to apply for loans, student financial aid, or otherwise provide income verification.
In order for this form to be processed, it must have certain information. It needs the personal information of the person who is requesting the copy of tax return information in order to verify their identity. It also needs information about what type of tax transcript is requested and what tax year the tax information is from.
