After you file

WendyN2 is not correct.  I cannot get a transcript.   My account is locked. 

I, same as the original poster stated, locked my account 5 yrs ago to prevent unauthorized access.  Unfortunately, it seems that it locks all access forever.  I don't recall being told when I locked it that it was going to be permanent.

I tried to create a new account and it said I could not do that because my current account was locked.  This was determined by my SSN & name/birthdate.  I could get no further than that.  It's locked and based on all the prior messages here it seems that it will remain that way until someone at IRS fixes the registration process.

The good thing is that it's locked and I don't have to worry about it being unlocked by scammers.
