I have filed form 4506t with the IRS nearly seven weeks ago. I have not heard from them. I have a foreign address. When I call their support line the automated system hangs up after failing to validate my address, although I have entered it exactly as it shows on my return.

Many thanks to Sweetie Jean and I have filled in the request to mail in, but the IRS site clearly states it is not accepting mail ins and I cannot fill in the online request because of my Canadian address.  Can TurboTax request it on my behalf, please?

TurboTax cannot request a transcript on your behalf as we are not a tax preparation firm, but a software company for self-preparation. 

 

It may be possible, with a signed Form 2848 - Power of Attorney for a local or remote full-service tax professional that your area to do this for you.
