I don't have any contact with the violent criminals that "raised" me. I've been completely self-sufficient since I was a teen and have never gotten any financial support from them; if they've ever claimed me as a dependent while I've been in college, they've been committing tax fraud. (But how would I know, I go to extreme lengths to maintain absolutely no contact.)
I also had my backup records damaged beyond repair (i.e. computer, ext. hard drives) and thus don't have access to my past tax returns.
How can I find my past tax returns from over 7 years ago? I was told the IRS gets rid of them..?
