Cost of Copies of Tax Returns Reduced

IRS has released the September 2013 Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return.  The cost for a copy of a Federal tax return including all attachments as originally submitted to the IRS is now $50 (down from the previous $57).  IRS instructions to the Form 4506 states it may take up to 75 calendar days for IRS to process the request for copies.

Alternatively, at no charge, Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, can be used to request tax return transcripts, tax account information, W-2 information, 1099 information, verification of non-filing, and records of account.  These transcripts can also be ordered on line at www.irs.gov or by calling 1-800-908-9946.
