It's a time consuming process to obtain information for a deceased or anyone from the IRS. You may need to file Form 4506 (not 4506-T) if you want to obtain an actual copy of the 2021 tax return of the decedent.
You would list yourself as the fiduciary, for third party recipient.
An option for you may be the Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS). They are in place to assist in situations where you are unable to obtain resolution on your own.
- You can click here to begin: TAS Qualifier Tool. or
- Submit a request for assistance - Form 911 Request for TAS Assistance (instructions are included)
- Locate the local TAS Office for your area
This will get the process started for you. It's not going to be a fast process because they are handling a large volume at this time.
If you do not hear from TAS within one week of submitting Form 911, contact the Taxpayer Advocate office where you originally submitted your request. Incomplete information or requests submitted to a Taxpayer Advocate office outside of your geographical location may result in delays.
