HOW TO ORDER AN IRS TAX RETURN TRANSCRIPT To obtain a free IRS tax return transcript: 1. Go to www.irs.gov and click on the Get Transcript of Your Tax Records link under Tools. If you create an account before proceeding to the additional steps of requesting a tax transcript, you should be able to request the transcript be mailed to your address on record. 2. Alternatively, you may call 1-800-908-9946, or 3. Contact your local IRS office to see if you may pick up a copy. Make sure to request the IRS tax return transcript and not the IRS tax account transcript. You will need the Social Security Number (or the IRS individual taxpayer identification number) and date of birth of the first person listed on the 2015 IRS income tax return, and the address on file with the IRS (normally this will be the address used when the 2015 tax return was filed). Adequate time from the date of filing your tax return (up to three weeks for IRS electronic filers, and up to eleven weeks for paper IRS filers) is necessary prior to requesting an IRS tax return transcript.
