Are You Having Trouble Finding a Copy of Your Prior Tax Return?

Prior Years Tax Return

It is tax time and you are all ready to go get your refunds except for one minor problem…you cannot find your return from the prior year. No need to panic, there are a few different methods to obtain a copy of this return:

1) You can obtain a copy of your transcript directly from the IRS by mail, phone, or online. The transcript will show most of the line items on your tax return. You can call 800-908-9946 to order a copy of the transcript. You can also complete and mail Form 4506T-EZ. The third option is by visiting IRS. gov and click on “Order a Transcript”.

2) You can get an actual copy of your return for a fee of $57 for each copy. Generally you can get returns as far back as six years. To obtain this copy visit IRS.gov and complete Form 4506 and mail it to the IRS.
