Options to obtain the documents

Visit the IRS website. 

  1. Request online: create an account with the IRS to download your transcripts.

    • We recommend downloading the 2020 Record of Account Transcript, as this includes all the information we need.

    • Note: You will need a credit card, student loan, mortgage, home equity loan, or auto loan to verify your identity to create an account. If you do not have one of these, you will need to request the transcript by mail or through Form 4506-T.

  2. Request by mail: if you still live at the address listed on your 2020 tax return, click “Get Transcript by Mail” and complete two requests: one for the Account Transcript and one for the Return Transcript for 2020. The IRS will mail the transcripts to the address listed on the 2020 tax return. 

    • Note: The IRS does not have an option to request a Record of Account Transcript through the online mail request system.

  3. If you no longer have access to mail at the address on your 2020 tax return, use Form 4506-T from the IRS to request a Record of Account Transcript (check box 6c) for the year that ended December 31, 2020 (line 9). Mail or fax Form 4506-T to the address listed on Page 2.
