Due to the pandemic, I’m having a hard time reaching a live representative on the phone and at local IRS offices. Mail in option provides an account and return transcripts and not wage and income transcripts. Was sent incorrect transcript 4 times, online option not working for me can’t get past the setup an account part because it won’t accept my new card number, might be looking for an old one. I need this transcript for college.
No one from TurboTax can order or access an IRS Transcript for you.
If you are unable to get the online transcript from the IRS then request the transcript be mailed to you - https://www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript
Complete IRS Form 4506-T to request W-2 information - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f4506t.pdf
SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !
EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records. That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.
