WASHINGTON –The Internal Revenue Service today (August 22, 2018 ) announced a new format for individual tax transcripts that will redact personally identifiable information from the Form 1040 series to better protect taxpayer data.
This new transcript replaces the previous format and will be the default format available via Get Transcript Online, Get Transcript by Mail or the Transcript Delivery System for tax professionals as of September 23, 2018.
Financial entries will remain visible, which will give taxpayers and third-parties the data they need for tax preparation or income verification.
