Transcript Delivery System
Use TDS to view your client’s return and account information quickly, in a secure, online session. EROs, Circular 230 practitioners and Reporting Agents are eligible to use TDS to request and receive account transcripts, wage and income documents, tax return transcripts, and verification of non-filing letters. A Record of Account that combines both the Return Transcript and Account Transcript into one product is also available.
Using this service requires a properly executed Form 2848, Power of Attorney or Form 8821, Tax Information Authorization, be on file with the IRS. Reporting Agents must have a Form 8665, Reporting Agent Authorization, on file in lieu of Form 2848 or Form 8821.
TDS user access is defaulted to approved principals, responsible officials, and principal consents on the e-file application. These individuals may authorize TDS access to "delegated users" in their business.
