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 (Sec.
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 4507T-EZ. It is also used to
request a tax return transcript that includes most lines of the
original tax return.
Current Actions: There is no change in the paperwork burden
previously approved by OMB. This form is being submitted for renewal
purposes only.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or Households, Farms, and Businesses
and other for-profit organizations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,100,000.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 47 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 870,000.
The following paragraph applies to all of the collections of
information covered by this notice:
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless the collection of
information displays a valid OMB control number. Books or records
relating to a collection of information must be retained as long as
their contents may become material in the administration of any
internal revenue law. Generally, tax returns and tax return information
are confidential, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited
on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
