Advanced HR Solutions: An automated employment and wage verification program for companies and their employees.

Experian: Electronically links and gathers data from various sources to deliver consistent, accurate, real-time view of customer data.

There is no charge for the transcripts and should be received within 10 business days from the time the IRS receives the request. See http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html for more information.

Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form 4506: This IRS form may be used by a PHA to request a tenant’s exact copy of a previously filed and processed return and all attachments (including Forms W-2). Copies are generally available for returns filed in the current and past 6 years. There is a $39 fee for each tax year requested. See http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq1-6.html for more information.

Note: This list is not all-inclusive. There are many vendors that offer income and employment verification services. PHAs should confirm with the vendor, the source from which income and employment information is delivered.
