Copy Tax

Form 4506 T, as it is most often requested, is also called a Request for Transcript of Tax Return. This document allows for a copy of your tax return to be obtained from the IRS directly. A mortgage lender may request this to verify your income documentation that you have provided as part of your loan application.

A form 4506-T simply allows your lender to verify with the IRS that the forms you supply to prove your income match those in the possession of the IRS.The IRS can provide a transcript that includes data from these information returns. State or local information is not included with the Form W-2 information.

Even when the 4506 is ordered early in the transaction, before loan approval, the IRS can delay things. Any mortgage lender that works through FNMA, FHLMC, FHA or VA, and even the portfolio lenders who follow their own rules, all have to have a 4506 processed; it's mandatory.

The primary difference between the IRS form 4506 and IRS form 4506-T is that 4506 is a request for full copies of income tax documents and 4506-T is a request for transcripts of the same documentation.The transcript is a line-by-line printout of specified information from the tax return.
