If you are unable to get a copy from the tax office that filed for you last year, you can contact the IRS to get an official copy of what was filed.

If you need an exact copy and all attachments (including Form W-2), you must complete Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return and mail it to the IRS address in the instructions along with a check or money order for $57, per tax year, made payable to the "United States Treasury." Copies are generally available for returns filed in the current and past 6 years.

In you don't need exact copy, you can order a tax return and transcript directly from the IRS. Complete a Form 4506-T or call (800) 829-1040 and follow the prompts in the recorded message. There is no charge for the transcript and you should receive it in 10 business days from the time we receive your request.
