If you are a U.S. government department or agency, then in some circumstances you may administratively subpoena quarterly wage records for a particular employer or employee.
Email your request together with your POA or email your federal agency administrative subpoena to taxpayer-records@dor.state.ma.us
Taxpayers who need to obtain copies of previous returns must also email a Form M-4506: Request for Copy of Tax Form.
