To get a transcript:
• Order Online. The fastest way to get a Tax Return or Account transcript is through the ‘Get Transcript’ tool available on IRS.gov. Just click the “Get Transcript by Mail” button to have a paper copy sent to your address of record.
• Order by phone. You can also order by phone at 800-908-9946 and follow the prompts.
• Order by mail. To order your tax return transcript by mail, complete and mail either Form 4506-T or Form 4506T-EZ. Form 4506-T can also be used to request other tax records: tax account transcript, record of account, wage and income and verification of non-filing.
If you need an actual copy of your tax return, they are generally available for the current tax year and as far back as six years. The fee per copy is $50.
