Question

whats the fastest way to get the info?

I did my taxes on my computer and saved them on my hard drive. I also printed out a copy of the 2005 tax return. Our house caught on fire and burned to the ground therefore destroying my computer and the printed return. I did my taxes through turbotax, but I used my email from an old ISP and cant get into that account.

Answer 1

Contact the IRS they can provide you with your AGI for tax year 2005, they can also provide you with a transcript of your prior year returns this is free of charge if you have a fax machine they can fax it to you, You stated that you filed electronically so there would not be a paper return that they would be able to photo copy..so no 39.00 fee

Answer 2

The FASTEST way to get the information is to call 1-800-829-1040 and ask one of us. We will ask you a few questions to make sure that you are who you say you are, then we can give you the information that you need. We can also send you a transcript ( but not an actual copy) of the tax return. For an actual copy, please visit www.irs.gov and follow the instructions there. Unfortunately there is a cost associated with getting a copy of the return, which is one reason that you should keep one yourself.

Answer 3

Hands down the fastest way is to look at your copy of your 2005 tax return.

If you don't have that, whoever prepared your return will have a copy and can provide that for you.

If that doesn't pan out you'll have to apply to the IRS for a copy of your 2005 return. That will cost you $39.00 and takes a few weeks to get it.

Answer 4

You really should have kept all your previous returns for at least 4 years but if you didnt than you can request either a transcript or the actual return from the IRS by going to www.irs.gov and browsing their site. Also if you had your 2005 taxes done by a preparer than you can go back to them and they should have a copy of your return.
