An IRS transcript is a transactional report of your tax return for a particular year. You can request a transcript is you don't have a copy of your tax return so that you will know what you filed. These can also be ordered online by tax preparers if they have the ability to do so by being set up with the IRS for such transactions.

How do you get last years tax file?

I was just asking myself the same question. I got this answer; hope it helps! It happens every year. Just when you get motivated to get rolling on your taxes, you realize you can't find the return you filed last year. Aaaarrrrggg! First off, don't panic if you can't find the return. Yes, you need it to know what you claimed last year and how those claims relate to this years return. All is not lost, however. The IRS will provide you with a copy of your past tax returns if you ask nicely. Here is how to go about it. The IRS will not send you the actual tax return. The agency, however, will send you their version of it. This is known as a tax return transcript and is a layout of the information you provided. It is essentially your return, but doesn't look like it. You can rely on the transcript as though it was your original return. When you contact the IRS to get the transcript, it is important to understand there are two types available. As is usual with the IRS, there are two choices just to confuse you. The first is the tax return transcript that is essentially the return you filed. The tax account transcript is your original return as modified by any changes made by the IRS or you. Which one is the correct one? If the IRS has not contacted you about an issue with the return, it is the tax return transcript. If they have, it the tax account transcript. The IRS will give you any return for the past three filing years. The service is free. To get the copy, you can call the IRS at 800-829-1040. Alternatively, you can get a copy by filling out and mailing in IRS Form 4506-T. It takes two weeks to a month for the agency to get the copy to you. If you discover you have a problem just before the relevant filing deadline, file for an extension so you don't run afoul of filing laws. Remember, you have to pay any taxes due regardless of the extension, so try to guesstimate what you will owe. If you lose a past tax return, there is no need to panic. The IRS will be happy to send you a copy. After all, an audit agent probably has the file on their desk as we speak! Richard A.

What if a creditor doesn't send you a 1099c form how will I know if they intend to send this to the IRS and will I be responsible for the debt if it is not sent to the IRS?

Taxpayers can always request a copy of their Wage & Income Transcript from the IRS each year. This report provides you with everything that has been reported against your social security number for the current year. The IRS compares your Wage Transcript against your file return each year. If you do not receive a 1099-C in one year, then there is a possiblity that the company issuing the 1099-C could report it in the next year. I would highly suggest that all taxpayers request a copy of their transcript so that they report everything. In a case where you receive the 1099-C but the company does not send it to the IRS, you are still legally bound to report the debt discharge. Sharon http://taxresolutionaries.blogspot.com
