Getting Your Records From the IRS

There are many reasons you might need copies of your IRS records: filing past-due returns, applying for a mortgage, resolving a tax dispute, or simply reconstructing lost records. The IRS maintains records of your tax filings, income reported by employers and financial institutions, and account activity.

Types of Records Available

Tax Return Transcript: Shows most line items from your return as originally filed. Free and available for the most recent three years.

Tax Account Transcript: Shows your filing status, payment history, and any adjustments made to your account after filing.

Wage and Income Transcript: Shows data from information returns (W-2s, 1099s) reported to the IRS. Useful for reconstructing lost records.

Record of Account Transcript: Combines the tax return and tax account transcripts into a single document.

Exact Copy of Tax Return: An actual photocopy of your original return, including all attachments. Available by filing Form 4506 with a fee.
