Question: I need to reach someone at the IRS to find out about tax returns I filed from 2 and 3 yrs ago?
The website only gives me the information for 2006 and the phone numbers keep circling me through hotlines and touchtones and voice systems…. any ideas on how I can access this information without a hassle?
Answer: Normally, for most of the requirements your purpose is served if you ask IRS for Transcripts instead of your tax return. You can order a transcript by calling 1-800-829-1040, or using Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return. There is no fee for a transcript and will get in about 10 days. Transcripts have most of the information from your tax return including information from W2, 1099.
Or you can use Form 4506 — Request for Copy of Tax Return. You will get copy of tax return filed by you along with all the attachments (like W2, 1099..). For each return the charges are $39 and IRS takes about 60 days to complete your request.

The new financial reform bill contains whistleblower provisions that could change how corporations identify potential wrongdoing, interact with their employees and decide whether to report potential violations to the government.
