Reminder: New Version of the 4506-T and 4506T-EZ Forms
Dear DataVerify Customer:
The IRS has released new versions of the 4506-T and 4506-TEZ forms (Versoin September 2018), which are ready for immediate use. The IRS will begin redacting transcripts January 1st, 2019. This change will require DataVerify to begin stamping a Customer File Number on the 4506-T forms in December to ensure we are still able to complete work in progress when the change takes place.
DataVerify will start rejecting 4506-T requests on December 10, 2018 if they are not submitted on the new version of the form. If you submit an order using the old version of the form, you will not incur any cost and can submit an updated form once rejected. We strongly recommend implementing these changes as soon as possible to mitigate potential issues.
You are receiving this message from DataVerify at your compay’s request. Please review the information above and notify all relevant parties. If you have any questions or concerns please contact DataVerify Customer Support.
