As part of the federal verification process, you may be required to provide a copy of an IRS Tax Return Transcript to confirm the information filed on your federal tax return.

An IRS Tax Return Transcript can be obtained:

• ONLINE: Visit www.irs.gov. Click on Get Your Tax Record, and then click on Get Transcript Online or Get Transcript by Mail.
• • Online requests require the Social Security number, filing status and mailing address from the latest tax returns, an email account, a mobile phone with your name on the account, and your personal account number from a credit card, mortgage, home equity loan, home equity line of credit or a car loan.
  • If you do not have all of the above, you will need to use an IRS Form 4506-T to request a copy of your tax return transcript. (See below.)
• PHONE: Call 1-800-908-9946.
• PAPER: Complete an IRS Form 4506-T, available at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506t.pdf, and submit it to the IRS as indicated on the form.
• • On the form, check Box 6a, "Return Transcript," to request the tax return transcript. Please complete all appropriate sections on the form to identify yourself, indicate the appropriate dates in Section 9, and sign the form, making sure to check the Signature check box.
  • Because the tax transcript will not include your USC ID number, DO NOT have it sent directly to USC. Have it sent to you so that you can upload a copy of it through FAST.

PLEASE NOTE: You must enter names, Social Security numbers and street addresses exactly as they appear on the latest tax return. Joint tax filers must both be listed, in the order they appear on the tax return.

Step-by-step instructions for completing the paper form:

1a   The first and last name as shown on the tax return. If you submitted a joint return, enter the name shown first.
1b   The first Social Security number used on the tax return.
2a   If applicable, spouse's first and last name as shown on the tax return.
2b   If applicable, spouse's Social Security number as shown on the tax return.
3     Current name of the first tax filer and address, city, state and zip code. This is the address where the IRS will send the transcript.
4     Previous address shown on the last tax return if different from line 3.
5     Leave blank
6     Enter 1040.
6A  Check this box to request the tax return transcript. Do not select 6B or 6C.
7     Leave blank.
8     Leave blank.
9     Enter December 31, 2020, to request a transcript for the correct tax filing period.

Signature Section:

• Fill in the Attestation Box.
• Sign and date the form, and include your phone number.
• At least one tax filer needs to sign the form for a joint return.

Mail the form to the IRS at the appropriate address provided in the middle column of page 2. Please do not submit IRS Form 4506-T to the university.
