Abstract: Subject to such requirements and conditions as the Secretary may prescribe by regulation, section 6103 (c) of the Internal Revenue Code authorizes the Internal Revenue Service to disclose a taxpayer's return or return information to such person or persons as the taxpayer may designate in a request for or consent to such disclosure, or to any other person at the taxpayer's request to the extent necessary to comply with the taxpayer's request to such other person for information or assistance. This regulation (§301.6103(c)-1), contains the requirements that must be met before, and the conditions under which, the Internal Revenue Service may make such disclosures. Individuals can use Form 4506T-EZ to request a tax return transcript that includes most lines of the original tax return. The tax return transcript will not show payments, penalty assessments, or adjustments made to the originally filed return. Form 4506T-EZ (SP) is the Spanish translated version of the Form 4506T-EZ. It is also used to request a tax return transcript that includes most lines of the original tax return.
