Keep in mind

Request online with MassTaxConnect – (Personal income returns only)

This request requires that you log into MassTaxConnect.

Please note:

  • If you are not already a registered MassTaxConnect user, you will need to create a MassTaxConnect username and password by visiting MassTaxConnect and selecting "Create My Username".
  • Your request for a copy of a previously filed personal income tax return may take several days to process. 
     

Request by email – (All tax types)

If you are the taxpayer or a person with a Power of Attorney (POA) for a taxpayer, then you may request taxpayer-specific records (for example, copies of tax returns, or an audit file) by emailing the request (and if you are not the taxpayer, then also a copy of the Power of Attorney) to the email address below.

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.

For POA information visit, Power of Attorney (POA) and Third Party Authorization.
