American express pull tax returns

[Anonymous]

American express wants to pull my tax returns and I don't want to give them that access. If I cancel my American express blue cash will it effect my American express platinum card. Or my credit report negatively for canceling a card.

It'll be on your record for 10 years. Then it will fall off.

Why don't you want them to have your tax returns? Did you lie about how much you make? Honesty is the best policy in the credit game.

Are we talking 4506-T or full FR? Do you have a pending CLI request?

If it is a full FR all your accounts (cards with amex) will be locked and if you don't comply they will be closed. If it is just income verification for a cli then you can ignore it and nothing bad will happen to any of your cards.

What's it matter? They could not want to turn over their tax information for any number of reasons doesn't mean they lied about anything. I'm not sure I'd give amex that info. Their cards aren't all that special and if they don't want my business other lenders will.

Giving any credit bureau that information dose not sit well with me. Plus issues with my taxes that are not on my report are still documented with the irs if they go back farther than just the year they are asking. Who knows if they just pull 2015 or more. The question isn't if I lied, I make plenty money now. But why should I be judged on times I could not pay verses now.

I'd rather close the account myself. Thanks for the comments every one who didn't have a slick response.

Wascb14 all I know is they say they won't 2015, and they sent me a fax cover sheet so they can put the paperwork in, on my behalf. And I have the card already. After I requested a balance transfer questions about my finances came up.

Count me in with those that will never...ever...willingly give access to my tax returns, just to keep a credit card...period!!!! I would only do that for a home mortgage. I just do not love credit cards that much, and the practice of 4506-T requests are becoming all too common.

I'm with y'all. If they request any of that info I'm closing my account. Unless there's something extraordinary going on, I just don't see the reason of them needing that information.
