IRS Halting Transcript Faxing

irsThe Internal Revenue Service will stop its tax transcript faxing service as of February 4. The decision applies to business tax and individual tax transcripts. The IRS said it is another step in protecting data, which started with the IRS’ masking personally identifiable information on the transcription starting last September.

Tax professionals can request an unmasked Wage and Income Transcript be sent to the client’s address of record. They can also request to have a unmasked transcript for tax preparation emailed to their address of record.

Tax practitioners working on by filing prior-year tax returns may need access to employer information taxpayers no longer have. Practitioners may request an unmasked Wage and Income Transcript. 

At the request of business taxpayers, business tax transcripts will be mailed to the address of record. Tax professionals may obtain a business tax transcript through the e-Service Transcript Delivery System.
