Do you need a copy of your tax return transcript or tax account transcript?
The IRS makes it easy for you to order a copy of both right from their website. And it's free! A tax return transcript shows most line items from your tax return as it was originally filled. It does not reflect any changes you, your representative or the IRS made after the return was filed. In many cases, a return transcript will meet the tje requirements of lending institutions such as those offering mortgages and for applying for student loans.
A tax account transcript shows any later adjustments either you or the IRS made after the tax return was filed. This transcript shows basic data, including marital statues, type of return filed, adjusted gross income and taxable income.
For detailed information as to how to request either, please click here.
Want to prepare your taxes on your own?
If you feel comfortable using a computer and filing your own taxes you have several options available to you. The IRS website has a list of software available to you (go to www.irs.gov and click on "Free File"). If you don't feel like browsing through your options you may consider using TurboTax Freedom Edition, the software many of our staff chose to use. Happy Filing!
