A: The IRS will provide an expedited tax return transcript free of charge. Expedited services are available to taxpayers or their authorized representative who call the IRS Disaster Assistance Hotline at (866) 562-5227. Also, Form 4506 –T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return (PDF), may be faxed or mailed to the appropriate IRS Campus found on the instructions. The Form 4506-T, if mailed, should be marked at the top of the form in red with the appropriate disaster information, such as “Hurricane XXXXX.”
If a photocopy is needed, it will be provided free of charge to taxpayers or their authorized representative. Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return (PDF), should be marked at the top of the form in red with the appropriate disaster, such as “Hurricane XXXXX,” and mailed to the appropriate IRS campus.
For tax professionals who are registered for E-Services, this is the most expedient and efficient method for obtaining the tax return transcript for their client.
