I’d just like to clarify that you don’t have to call the Practitioner Priority Line to request an unmasked wage and income transcript. #1 - #5 above were all posted before the IRS issued IR-2019-101 on June 4th.
https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-takes- ... ranscriptsIn this News Release, the IRS stated:
● When needed for tax preparation purposes, tax practitioners may:
o Obtain an unmasked wage and income transcript by calling the IRS, faxing authorization to the IRS assistor and the IRS assistor will place the document in the tax practitioner’s e-Services secure mailbox, or
o Obtain an unmasked wage and income transcript if authorization is already on file by using e-Service’s Transcript Delivery System.
So, you don't have to call the Practitioner Priority Line to request an unmasked transcript.
If your authorization is on file, you can use TDS through e-Services.
