Answer 1

If you need an actual copy of your return, you should complete and mail Form 4506 (PDF), Request for Copy of Tax Return along with a check or money order for $ 39.00 per tax year made payable to the "United States Treasury". Allow 60 calendar days to receive your copies.

Most needs for tax return information can be met with a tax return transcript or a tax account transcript, rather than an actual copy of the return. The tax return transcript shows information from the return as it was originally filed. A tax account transcript shows any later adjustments either the taxpayer or the IRS made after the tax return was filed. Transcripts are provided free of charge. These transcripts may be acceptable substitutes for an actual copy of the return by the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services and lending agencies for student loans and mortgages. Check with your agency or lender to be sure.

You can obtain a transcript by calling (800)–829–1040 or by completing and mailing Form 4506-T (PDF), Request for Transcript of Tax Return, to the address listed in the instructions to request all types of transcript verification of non-filing, and wage/income information.

Transcripts will be mailed directly to you, and should be received within two weeks after the IRS gets your request. Transcripts can be mailed to a third party if you specify this on Form 4506–T. However, you must sign and date the form giving your consent for the disclosure.

Answer 2

Just a note to add to what the others said.
Fill out your FAFSA now. Just guess your income. Once you can find your tax returns you can fix the amounts online. You will not get penalized for this. The earlier you file FAFSA the more money you are eligible for and they consider your first submission date and not the date you fix it on.

Answer 3

If you filed your taxes online, you can usually go and find a saved copy of your return. If you go through a site like TurboTax or something, you can pull up what you've submitted as a .pdf.

Answer 4

Yu will need to get a tax return transcript, not an account transcript, that will not have all the data you need for fafsa. You can get one for free by calling 1-800.829.1040

Answer 5

OK- I HAD THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPEN TO ME. SO ITS REALLY EASY THIS IS WHAT YOU DO: YOU GET A COPY OF THE WHITE PAGES (PHONE BOOK) CHECK UNDER THE GOVERNMENT LISTINGS (USUALLY BLUE OR GRAY SECTION) AND YOU CALL THE I.R.S. YOU MAY HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE AND PUSH SOME NUMBERS BEFORE YOU ACTUALLY GET TO TALK TO A REAL PERSON. ONCE YOU DO YOU JUST TELL THEM YOU LOST IT AND THEY WILL SEND YOU A COPY- ITS THAT EASY!!!!

Answer 6

Contact whomever did your taxes and ask for a copy. You may want to try contact the IRS directly .
