how can i get a phone # to get a copy of my taxes?

Question

need a copy for a job i am applying for soon so i need copies from 2004-2006

Answer 1

Several people have given your the IRS number and links. I wonder why a potential employer wants to see prior tax returns. I am required to list all debts and authorize a credit inquiry annually for my job at a bank. They have never asked to see tax returns. The only reason I can think of why any employer would need tax returns is if a security clearance was required. If that was the case, they would not ask you for copies, they would have you sign a form allowing them to get the returns directly from the IRS.

1-800-829-1040. Or have a look here for more information: http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq-kw31.html

You should have a copy of your 2006 return in your possession right now. There is a $39.00 charge for copies of a return. It takes about 6 weeks to get a copy of a return.

You can get a transcript of tax returns for free. Transcripts include most of the information from a filed return and can usually be used where a copy of a return is requested. Transcripts take about 2 weeks.

I'm curious as to your reason. In all of my working years I've never had to provide a copy of a tax return as part of a job application package. This is highy unusual.

I'd be very careful, though, about giving copies of tax returns to someone at a job you're applying for - that's a very strange request. Did they say why they need them? It could be the first step toward having your identity stolen.

Answer 4

1-800-829-1040 (24 hours x & days)

Not sure how quickly they can get this to you.

If you file using Turbo Tax or another online program - you can download off of the net.

Answer 5

Go to IRS.gov and look for "Contact Us". There should be a customer service number listed.
