Alex Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I notice there are two different request forms on the IRS website... The 4506 is for COPY of tax returns, and you pay a $39.00 fee for each year requested. The 4506-T is for TRANSCRIPT of tax returns and is free for all years requested. Which is better to request for K-1, and what's the difference between the two?? Why the big charge on the 4506? Link to comment
warpedbored Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 The free one is fine. It is what I used for the visa and AOS Link to comment
Phil & Ningning Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 A copy of the return would look as you file it, the 1040 with questions and all. The transcript is simply a printout with line #s and amounts.... no questions. Link to comment
frank1538 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 I had requested transcripts, but they did not arrive within the time period shown on the request (10 days, I think). Ended up having to use my copies of the 1040 which I personally certified as true and correct copies of the originals. The transcripts arrived after Jingwen and the kids received their visas.

bobmal99 Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 The IRS form 4506 does not not require a charge for anything if you are requesting your three previous years of filing ANY of the 1040 series. Re-read question #8 of the 4506. Once you file a request, it takes about 30-60 days to get your copies. I did this with no charge and no problem Link to comment
natrigon Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Same here, used the free ones... no problem. Link to comment

I believe mine took about 3 weeks to come. Link to comment
