6 Easy Steps to Get a Copy of Your Tax Return

The Internal Revenue Service can give you the copies of your tax returns from the latest seven tax years. You can demand copies by organizing Form 4506 and assigning payment of $50 for each one. When the IRS accepts your appeal, it can take more than 60 days for the work to process it. If you filed your tax returns using the desktop version of TurboTax program, the information about taxes is stored on the computer; thus you can print a copy of it at any time. If you have used the TurboTax Online, you can sign in and print copies of your taxes for free.

The information applies to both TurboTax Desktop and Online version, so you can quickly obtain your tax return copy. However, before taking any action, you can contact TurboTax support phone number and seek the assistance of experts who can give you the best advice regarding your taxes, the law, investments, or any other professional and business matters that affect your business growth. To get the tax return copy, check the steps given below:

Step #1: Download Form 4506

Filing Form 4506 is the only way you can follow up to obtain the copy of your tax returns from the IRS. So, first of all, you need to download the form from the IRS official website.

Step #2: Provide Necessary Information

Input your name and number related to the Social Security on Line 1. If you filed the tax return jointly for years you are demanding copies; then you also need to provide the information on your spouse name and number on line 2.

Step #3: Input address

Input your existing address on line 3. If it’s different than the address you provide on your past-filed returns, input the previous address on line 4. If you want to send your tax return directly to the third-party like as a bank estimating your loan application, you can input their name, phone number and address on Line 5. If you don’t give the information on line 5, the IRS will mail your tax return to the current address.

Step #4: Provide Form

Input the form you have used to organize your federal income tax return on Line 6. If you’re demanding an individual income tax return, it’s possible you filed taxes on Form 1040 or 1040A or 1040EZ. You also need to enter the tax years you are demanding copies for on Line 7. For instance, if you’re requesting your 2016 tax return, input ‘12/31/2016’ and not just ‘2016.’

Step #5: Enter Number of Returns

Input the number of tax returns you are appealing on line 8b. The IRS charges $50 for each tax return as of 2016. Multiply the returns number you’re demanding on line 8b by the appropriate fee on line 8a and input the correct payment on line 8c.

Step #6: Sign and Mail

Sign the form and then email to the correct IRS address. On Page 2, you need to send the mail to the address listed in the state or city you lived in while you filed the original tax return. Before sending emails, make sure that you enclose complete payment, if not; then the IRS will not process your application.

Note that if you filed your income tax return using the TurboTax, you can skip this procedure and either print your tax information from your PC or download it from the TurboTax Online account. If you’re trying to request copies of your tax return jointly using these steps, then it’s not required for your spouse to sign the Form 4506. However, if you’re having any concerns regarding the TurboTax tax-filing process, you can contact TurboTax support phone number to get them resolved in a hassle-free manner.
