How do I get a copy of a prior year tax return and W-2?
If you filed your tax return through Tax By Mail, then you can request a copy by calling us us at 1-888-829-2962. Otherwise, as long as you filed your tax return with the IRS, you can request a photocopy or a computer transcript (a line-by-line listing) of the information on your tax return. You can call 1-800-829-1040 or visit their website by clicking here. Photocopies and transcripts are free from the IRS. If you need an actual copy (not a photocopy), then you must complete Form 4506 and pay a $39 fee for your tax return and all related tax information (Form W-2, etc.).
