  • Obtained: Sailing Permit + Tax Transcripts

    I obtained my Sailing Permit and Tax Transcripts today from the IRS office in Wheaton, MD. The address for this & other offices is at:

    www.irs.ustreas.gov/prod/...hours.html

    It was a breeze. Since I went in person, they did not take my form 4506 for Tax Transcripts. Just issued them. The Tax transcripts are a large continuous printout on a dot matrix printer. They put the IRS seal and signature stamps on the first page.

    Filled out perforated form 2063 for Sailing Permit. They checked my Passport & Air Tickets. And issued the Sailing Permit. The sailing permit is actually detached from the perforations on form 2063. It too bears the IRS stamp and signature.

    That's it. Was out in 10 minutes. You will find my case details if you dig through the threads.

    HTH,
    Amitabh.

      Q. What year did you write in Box 3 of form 2063? Was it for 2000 or 2001?
      A. I think you mean Box 4. I wrote 2000. Because I have already filed my tax return FY2000. I suspect that if you haven't filed our tax return FY2000, you will have to write 1999 (I am presuming you have filed your tax return FY1999).

      Q. Where did you obtain the tx transcipts form 4506?
      A. www.irs.gov/forms_pubs/fillin.html

          Yes, it is recommended.

          Sailing Permit is NOT a compulsorily required document. It is the equivalent of "Income Tax Clearance" certificate.

          Please go through the CP section on this site.

              Technically speaking, Yes. I haven't taken one for my spouse since she is my dependent so far as GC is concerned.

                  Thanks for the info

                  Amitabh,

                  I got my sailing permit yesterday from a local IRS walk-in center. After a couple of questions regarding my return air ticket, 2000 tax extension and my previous year 1999 tax returns, I was given a sailing permit.

                  Thanks for the info.
