How to Obtain Tax History
- 1). Identify the year or years for which you need to obtain a tax return transcript.
- 2). Request a tax return transcript from the IRS. You can do this by telephone or by filling out Form 4506T-EZ (for a tax return transcript) or Form 4506T (for a tax account transcript) and mailing it in. You can also request a transcript online by going to the IRS website (IRS.gov) and clicking "Ordering a Tax Return or Account Transcript" at the bottom-left side of the screen. To complete these requests, you will need to provide the IRS with your name, social security number, date of birth and the address that was shown on the filed return, if different from your current address.
- 3). Check your mail in five to 10 days for your transcript if you requested it online or by phone. If you mailed in Form 4506T-EZ or Form 4506-T, it may take 30 days to arrive.
