Short Statement: Previously Form 4506-T was utilized by both the individual taxpayers and the Income Verification Express Service (IVES) participants on behalf of taxpayers. The Form 4506-T will continue to be utilized by the individual taxpayers without a third party request. IVES participants making third party requests will begin using the newly created Form 4506-C. With the creation of the new Form 4506-C, the burden associated with Form 4506-T has decreased. There is an overall increase to this ICR because of the increase in burden for Form 4506-C.
