A "transcript" refers to a specific type of document that contains the numbers from your prior returns, but not the lines and boxes and shading. Often, this is all you need - and it's free.
As noted above, you can get a transcript at this IRS webpage Get Transcript.
Note that transcripts by mail are not available at the moment because of the ongoing situation. But you may be able to get your transcripts online.
Be sure to look at the transcript types to see which one you want and also to indicate the right year. For example. for tax year 2017, you want the transcript for the year ending 12/32/2017.
