Editable IRS Form 4506-A 2021-2022

Question 1

What is the purpose of Form 4506-A?

Answer

The Form 4506-A is an information statement required by federal tax law if it is used to determine the tax consequences of a transaction that affects a partnership's (and/or the individual's) tax status. The Form 4506-A is not ordinarily used to certify a partnership's income or losses. When determining the tax consequences of a partnership transaction, you should not rely on Form 4506-A unless the information on that form is in writing and is signed by all interested parties, or unless the form is completed only as to partnership income or losses and all related tax elements. However, the tax consequences of a transaction that has a major impact on a partnership's tax treatment are generally based on its effect on the partnership's (and/or the individual's) tax status. Therefore, if an individual or a partnership is involved in a transaction that is intended to be treated as a partnership transaction by the law, Form 4506-A is used. Does each tax return filed by a partnership or trust, or for the benefit of a partnership or trust, have to use a separate Form 4506-A? No. Form 4506-A is for use by a partnership or trust if it is dealing with the partnership or trust at arm's length. In fact, the amount of the information statement will depend on what type of partnership or trust there is. If a partnership or trust is dealing with another partnership or trust at arm's length, Form 4506-A should be used even if the information included on the statement is only required by the individual's or trust's federal income tax return for that year. If, however, the partnership or trust is only dealing with itself at arm's length and is not at arm's length with any other partnership or trust, only Form 1065-B, Non-U.S. Tax Withholding Statement, is required to be signed on that form. If a non-U.S. person who is not a resident of the United States also has an interest in a partnership or trust that is dealing with the partnership or trust at arm's length and does not use Form 4506-A, the partnership or trust should use Form 4501, Partnership Information Return. If I am a non-resident alien, do I have to use Form 4506-A? No.

Question 2

Who should complete Form 4506-A?

Answer

You must request the form for each child (under 18 years, or 18-21 years) who is a dependent spouse or the dependent parent of another member of the same family, or who (together with the dependent spouse or dependent parent) was a family member of somebody who is in the military and is also in the military.

When completing Form 4506-A, please use the last address listed in Box 1 at the front of your original Form 4506. Top I file my return late. May I pay the late filing penalty or interest on my return?

Question 4

Can I create my own Form 4506-A?

Answer

Yes, you can create your own Form 4506-A. A form is a report prepared by a licensed tax preparer and is needed to provide information necessary to comply with a federal or state tax obligation.

Question 8

What are the different types of Form 4506-A?

Answer

Form 4506-A can be used to provide documentation to employers (employers may use it to submit evidence of an employee's eligibility for TSL as long as they do not use Form 4506-D) or to certify to the IRS that a person is not using an eligible employer Identification Number (EIN). Employers can use Form 4506-A to send a completed application form to their EIN holder as a confirmation of the employee's EIN. When filing Form 4506-A, the EIN holder must also submit his or her Social Security Number (SSN), and a Social Security Number assignment letter. Once the IRS receives the Form 4506-A, it will enter that person in its TIN database in order to issue the EIN. This document is sent to IRS, along with the completed Form 4506-A, Social Security Number, and SSN assignments. You should send Form 4506-A and the completed Forms 4506-E and 4506-F only to the appropriate EIN holder. The EIN holder must receive the forms by electronic means, such as e-filing. An Employer can also use Form 4506-A to obtain a report from the IRS that shows when he or she last submitted Form 4506, the date that Form 4506 was filed to the IRS, and the last time that person signed the form. The report can also include all correspondence with the IRS, in addition to the EIN holder's return (if there are any). For a list of the Form 4506-A instructions for submission to the IRS, go to the Instructions for Form 4506. An IRS employee can use Form 4506-E or Form 4506-F to obtain a report from the IRS that shows the amount of the taxpayer's wages (if any) received for each pay period in a calendar quarter. The report can also include all correspondence with the IRS, and the report and correspondence will be returned to the IRS. For a list of the Form 4506-E or Form 4506-F instructions for submission to the IRS, go to the Instructions for Form 4506. The Form 4506-D is to be filed by the designated employer but is not usually required when the employer does not provide the information required by IRC 6501(e). Example: A corporation has filed a Form 4506-D to request that IRC 6501(e) apply to its employees.

Question 9

How many people fill out Form 4506-A each year?

Applications were received through the regular channels of the Federal agency (including Federal Express, FedEx and the mail and e-filing services). Form 4506-A was also filed electronically, primarily by individuals. Why are the number of applications filing for the SSN-5 reduced? Due to increased adoption of electronic filing, it is estimated that the number of Form 4506-A filings may decrease after each reporting year. Applications for SSN-5 may reduce in the same manner. Does SSN-5 contain an error code or a code that says SSN-5? No, SSN-5 does not contain any error codes or codes that say SSN-5. It is also important to note that individuals who applied for SSN-5 prior to October 2, 2016, will be issued an SSN-5 as long as their application is filed by October 2, 2016. After October 2, 2016, individuals will be issued an SSN-1. What are some other useful documents for individuals with a Social Security number? The SSA and several national government organizations, including the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Social Security Administration, publish useful documentation in an additional document library called the Guide to Reporting Persons with Social Security Numbers. A copy of the SSN-5 can be obtained by the individual by completing Form 4506-A, Form SSN5B, Social Security Number Application, with instructions. A list of agencies and documents available for free is here. See also the Federal Government's Resources for Individuals with a Social Security Number. Where can the Social Security Administration locate information about SSN-5 recipients? The Social Security Administration (SSA) can help you locate information about SSN-5 recipients who are deceased. To contact SSA regarding SSN-5 for individuals who are deceased, call: (US) 1-877-ASK-SSA (Canada) Individuals with SSN-5 can also contact the SSA to obtain a death certificate from their state office of vital statistics.

Question 10

Answer

Can I get my child or spouse to sign the tax return if I cannot sign? What if I miss a payment, or I can't prove who did the payments or when?
