🧾 Where to Fax Form 4506-T: IRS Fax Numbers
Fax Form 4506-T to the IRS RAIVS team for the state you lived in when the return was filed: 855-587-9604 (Austin), 855-821-0094 (Kansas City) or 855-298-1145 (Ogden). The IRS mails the transcript to your address of record and does not fax transcripts back, and for many people Get Transcript Online is the faster route. A US fax costs $2.99 for up to 3 pages, such as a cover page and the form.

Form 4506-T Fax Numbers by State
Form 4506-T can be faxed, but the transcript you asked for will not come back by fax. The IRS says plainly that for security reasons it does not fax transcripts, so it mails them to the address it has on record for you. If you need the transcript quickly, Get Transcript Online at IRS.gov is the faster route for many people. Please also note that Form 4506, which asks for a copy of the full tax return, is mail only and cannot be faxed.
The form's instructions say to mail or fax Form 4506-T to the address for the state you lived in, or the state your business was in, when that return was filed. Both charts on the form are headed "Mail or fax to", and the 855 number under each address is the fax number. For individual transcripts, such as the Form 1040 series, W-2 and 1099 information, use this chart:
| If you lived in | Fax | |
|---|---|---|
| Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, a foreign country, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the U.S. Virgin Islands, or an A.P.O. or F.P.O. address | 855-587-9604 | IRS, RAIVS Team, Stop 6716 AUSC, Austin, TX 73301 |
| Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin | 855-821-0094 | IRS, RAIVS Team, Stop 6705 S-2, Kansas City, MO 64999 |
| Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming | 855-298-1145 | IRS, RAIVS Team, P.O. Box 9941, Mail Stop 6734, Ogden, UT 84409 |
These numbers are for sending Form 4506-T only. They are not phone numbers, and they are not for tax returns, which the IRS takes by e-file or mail. Our guide on how to fax the IRS explains which other IRS forms have a fax route.
Business Transcripts Use a Different Chart
For all other transcripts, which means business returns, the form uses a second chart, and several states move to a different office. For example, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee use Austin for individual transcripts but Kansas City for business transcripts, and Texas and Florida use Ogden for business transcripts.
| If your business was in | Fax | |
|---|---|---|
| Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, a foreign country, U.S. territories, or an A.P.O. or F.P.O. address | 855-298-1145 | Ogden, UT 84409 (Mail Stop 6734) |
| Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin | 855-821-0094 | Kansas City, MO 64999 (Stop 6705 S-2) |
If you are asking for more than one year and you lived at two different addresses, send the form based on the address on your most recent return. The form allows mail or fax and does not say that one is preferred.
What Comes Back, and How Fast
Line 8 of the form says that most requests will be processed within 10 business days, and the transcript is then mailed to your address of record. The IRS stopped faxing tax transcripts to taxpayers and third parties on June 28, 2019, and it also does not mail transcripts to third parties when Form 4506-T is submitted. That means a lender, landlord or school cannot receive the transcript directly from a Form 4506-T, and you will need to pass on your own copy.
If time matters, please consider the faster routes first. The form itself points to Get Your Tax Record (Get Transcript) online at IRS.gov and to the automated phone line at 1-800-908-9946, and your IRS Online Account is another option. Faxing the form is still useful when you cannot use the online tools.
The IRS must receive Form 4506-T within 120 days of the date you signed it. If your signed form is older than that, please sign and date a new one before you fax it.
The rule: fax Form 4506-T to the number for the state you lived in when that return was filed, and expect the transcript by mail, because the IRS does not fax transcripts.
Form 4506, 4506-C and 8821 Are Different
Form 4506 asks for a copy of the full tax return, not a transcript. It is mail only: the form says to attach payment and mail it to the address for your state, it costs $30 for each return requested, and the IRS says it may take up to 75 calendar days. It must also arrive within 120 days of the date you signed it.
Form 4506-C is used by lenders through the IRS Income Verification Express Service, called IVES. You sign it, and the IVES participant faxes it to the IRS with an approved cover sheet. The IVES fax numbers are for those participants only, so please do not send a 4506-C or a 4506-T to them yourself. If your lender has asked for tax papers, our guides to faxing mortgage documents and faxing employment and income verification may help.
Form 8821 gives a person you name, such as your accountant, access to your tax information for the years you list, and it has its own submission routes and fax numbers in its instructions. A 4506-T is a one-time request, and the transcript now goes only to you. Our guide to Form 2848 and Form 8821 covers those authorization forms.
What to Put on the Cover Page and the Form
A short cover page helps your request reach the right team. Write "IRS, RAIVS Team" and the office, such as Ogden, then "Form 4506-T attached", your full name as it appears on the return, your phone number and the total number of pages. Your Social Security number and the tax years already appear on the form, so you do not need to repeat them on the cover page, which anyone near the fax machine can read.
On the form, check that the name and address match your tax records, that the transcript type and the tax years are marked, and that it is signed and dated. If you send more than one page, write your name at the top of each page and number the pages, for example 2 of 3. Scanning in black and white keeps the numbers and signature easy to read.
How to Send It, What It Costs and If It Fails
Go to OverseasFax, select United States, and type all 10 digits of the IRS fax number with no leading 1, for example 8552981145 for Ogden. The +1 is added for you, and if you type a 1 at the start, the box removes it. The pay button turns on only when 10 digits are entered. There is more detail in our guide on how to fax a US number online.
The price is $2.99 for up to 3 pages and $0.99 for each extra page. A cover page and the form within 3 pages is $2.99, and if you add a fourth page the total is $2.99 + $0.99 = $3.98. You see the total before you pay, there is no account to create, and nothing is printed on your document.
Delivery usually takes a few minutes. You then receive a confirmation email that shows the destination number, the page count and the time the fax went through, in US Eastern Time. Please keep that email, because it is your record of exactly when it was sent. If the fax cannot be delivered, the full amount goes back to your card automatically, and you can check the number and send again.
Because the IRS mails transcripts, you do not need a fax number to receive one. If a lender or another office wants to fax you a form to sign, our sister service GetAFax.com gives you a private US fax number for 24 hours for $5, for up to 30 pages, and faxes arrive in your email as a PDF. The US fax guide lists other forms people send from home.
