About Form 4506-T-EZ, Short Form Request for Individual Tax Return Transcript

Use Form 4506-T-EZ to request tax return information. Taxpayers using a tax year beginning in one calendar year and ending in the following year (fiscal tax year) must instead use Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return.

The transcript format better protects taxpayer data by partially masking personally identifiable information. Financial data remains fully visible to allow for tax preparation, tax representation, or income verification.

Because the taxpayer identification number is masked, there is a field on the Form 4506-T-EZ PDF to enter a Customer File Number which will display on the transcript.
