Get tax transcripts within 48 hours!

Hello All,

Not sure how many people are aware of this, so I thought I'd post. You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 and request your transcripts for a year or two or three or whatever you need. If you need it fast, they will fax it to you. I don't have a home fax and I felt uncomfortable having private financial documents sent out to a public fax @ kinko's. Plus, its an automated system so the fax could come after business hours (mine came after 9pm). So I used eFax (efax.com). Basic fax receiving is FREE (sending is NOT). I have my own free private fax# that I can use whenever I want. The faxes come through like email attachments that I can open with Acrobat or the eFax Messenger program.

The IRS will attempt to send the fax 3 times within 48 hours. If it fails, they will mail off a copy. For Adjustment of Status, it was mailed to me and came in less than a week.

Anyway, hope this proves useful to you. Having to pay 675 for the application and biometrics PLUS for shipping, photos and everything else, getting this fast and free might be a help.

Good Info... you can also go to your local IRS office and they will print out the transcript on the spot.
