Before you press send

What to check first.

The IRS must receive the form within 120 days of the date you sign it, or it is rejected.
Check the box in the signature area confirming you have the authority to sign. If it is unchecked, the form is not processed.
Asking for more than one transcript and the chart shows two numbers? Use the one for the address on your most recent return.
A representative can sign only if Form 2848, line 5, gives them that authority, with the Form 2848 attached.

If fax isn’t the best route

Other ways to file.

Get Transcript on IRS.gov, or the automated transcript line at 1-800-908-9946.
By mail, to the RAIVS Team address for your state in the same chart.

After you fax it

Transcripts go only to the taxpayer’s address of record. Since July 2019 the IRS no longer mails them to third parties; a lender that needs one uses the IRS’s IVES program.
