There are different ways to obtain your tax return information. Most requests can be satisfied with a computer printout of your return information called a transcript. However, sometimes you need an exact copy of a previously filed and processed tax return with all attachments
(including Form W-2). Copies are generally available for returns filed for the current and past six tax years. On jointly filed tax returns, either spouse may request a copy. Only the signature from the requesting spouse is required on the Form
4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return. You should complete Form 4506 and mail it to the address listed in the instructions, along with a $43 fee for each tax return requested. If you're a taxpayer impacted by a federally declared disaster or a significant
fire, the IRS waives the usual fees and expedites requests for copies of tax returns for people who need them to apply for disaster-related benefits or to file amended returns claiming disaster-related losses. See Publication 3067, IRS Disaster Assistance – Federally
Declared Disaster AreaPDF. For additional information about tax relief in disaster situations, refer to
Topic No. 107 or call the IRS Disaster Assistance Hotline at 866-562-5227. To request a copy of a fraudulent tax return, when someone else used your name and social security number as a primary or secondary filer to file the return
