Can I get a copy of my tax return from the IRS?
Below is the full transcript for the above video.
You have two options when requesting a copy of a tax return you filed with the IRS: You can request a free transcript or order an exact copy for $50.
Your free tax return transcript shows most line items from your original return. Transcripts are available for the current and past three tax years. Most lenders will accept transcripts instead of exact copies.
An exact copy of your return shows all line items and includes all other attachments. Exact copies are available for the current and past six tax years.
To request a free transcript, visit irs.gov, select Get your tax records and transcripts, and then Get transcript by mail.
To get an exact copy of your return for $50, fill out the IRS Form 4506 and follow the mailing instructions on the form.
