I lost my tax papers!?

Question

My college needs my tax papers for 2006, I have all but one sheet and have no idea where the third is (my house is in shambles from looking for it) I need this asap. Is there anything I can do to get that last part?

Answer 1

Who completed your tax return? May be they would have a copy.


If you don't need the actual copy of the tax return, you may go to your IRS office and ask for a transcript (if you get lucky).

http://www.irs.gov/localcontacts/

Or you can call 1800-829-1040. They will mail it to you.

Or you can complete and mail Form 4506-T, 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.

If you need an actual copy of your return, you should complete and mail Form 4506, 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.

Answer 2

Go in person to your local IRS office and request a tax return transcript. Take your Drivers License for ID verification. You can also mail away for for it but you'll be waiting a couple weeks. Go to www.irs.gov to find your local office.
