Where do I find my Customer File Number?

[nickelchrome]

In order to get an IRS transcript from their website they ask for my Customer File Number, and I have no idea what that is or where to find it.

The 10-digit Customer File Number is an alternative tracking number to match a transcript to the taxpayer for third parties such as tax preparers. You will not need that number to obtain a transcript for your own return.

Try creating an online account on the IRS website to verify the status of returns, payments, refunds, transcripts and more.

Leave the Customer File Number blank. You don't need it when you are getting a transcript for your own use.

@Danocrowl  Leave the Customer File Number blank. You don't need it when you are getting a transcript for your own use. The Customer File Number is an optional entry for lenders or tax professionals who get transcripts for several people at once. They can use it to keep track of which customer each transcript is for.

THERE IS NO CUSTOMER FILE NUMBER ON AN INCOME TAX RETURN SO THERE IS NOTHING TO FIND ON A RETURN FILED THRU THE TT SYSTEM.   We cannot say this loud enough ... you do NOT need it to get a transcript.

Now ... if you REALLY want/need to have one simply MAKE ONE UP since it is immaterial.
