Understanding the Illinois Department of Revenue IL-4506 form is pivotal for anyone looking to obtain a copy of their tax return, along with any attachments. This form, specifically designed for this purpose, caters to different tax types, each necessitating a separate IL-4506 request to be filled out. A nominal fee of $5 is charged for each return copy requested, which envelops all attachments. Furthermore, an additional $5 is imposed for certifying the document. Certification affirms that the reproduced tax return and its attachments are accurate, an essential step typically required for legal or administrative purposes or when attaching it to tax returns of other states. It's important to employ the same identification number used in the original tax document when requesting a copy. These identifiers range from federal employer identification numbers (FEIN) for businesses, Social Security numbers (SSN) for individual income tax returns, to Illinois account ID numbers, among others, for various tax returns. The IL-4506 form also asks for detailed taxpayer information, the type of tax document, and the specific form number needed, alongside the period these documents cover. Furthermore, the procedure is laid out clearly on how to calculate the total amount owed based on the number of requested documents and certification needs, ensuring that the Illinois Department of Revenue receives payment before processing the request. Lastly, the form mandates a signature from the taxpayer or an authorized individual, underscoring the importance of legally acquiring sensitive tax return information.
