How should I handle this 5747c notice?

I received a 5747 notice in the mail for my 2022 return which requires an in person appointment with the 2022/2021 return and identity documents to verify. Unfortunately, I used the desktop version of Turbotax and lost access to my original return while switching computers and failing to properly back up my files. I have my 2022 return transcript and supporting documents (1099s ect.), but not the full return. 

I haven't been able to call the number on the letter yet to set up an appointment, but I was just wondering if anybody here new how big of an issue not having the actual return would be.

I would think that the IRS would have a copy.

Yes you would think that office would have access to the returns however they are not so you need to supply the requested information.  Call and see if the transcripts would be good enough otherwise request a copy of the return ...  

For a fee you can get a complete federal tax return from the IRS by mail by completing Form 4506 - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506.pdf
