Who can request copies? 

Individuals

If a taxpayer jointly filed a tax return, either spouse may submit the SC4506. Only one signature is required. Print your name on the SC4506 exactly as it appeared on your original return. If you changed your name, also print​ your current name.

Corporations

The SC4506 can be signed by:

• An officer having legal authority to bind the corporation
• Any person designated by the board of directors or other governing body
• Any officer or employee listed on a written request by any principal officer and attested to by the secretary or other officer
• Any shareholder of record owning 1% or more of the corporation’s outstanding stock, though they must submit documentation to support their right to receive the information.

Partnerships

Generally, the SC4506 can be submitted by any person who was a member of the partnership during the time period requested.

Deceased or insolvent taxpayers and dissolved corporations

Any trustee, guardian, executor, receiver, or administrator acting for the taxpayer or corporation may submit the SC4506.

​NOTE: Heirs of law, next of kin, and beneficiaries must be able to establish a material interest in the estate or trust. 

What documentation must be provided? 

For entities other than individuals, you must attach authorization documents. Examples include: 

• A letter from the principal officer authorizing the employee of the corporation
• A letter of testamentary authorizing an individual to act for an estate 

Representatives

A representative can sign the SC4506 for the taxpayer only if they have been specifically designated as an authorized representative. A SC2848, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative​ showing this designation must be attached to the SC4506.
