can I email a clients return to their financial advisor and if so how?

Best choice is e-mail to client and have them do with it as they wish. YOU should have written permission from the client before ever sharing any client information with a third party.

This is from IRS bulletin 2013-3:

  the general rule under section 7216 prohibits the disclosure or use of tax return information unless a written consent is obtained or an exception applies.
