Question about Tax Transcript

[Olya2007 0]

I ordered my Tax Transcript from IRS yesterday, and it says would be delivered in 10 days.

If someone ordered it, what was your experience?? Have it really took that long?? Is anyone tried to expedited it for a fee?

The reason I need it fast because I soon to be in a stage to send my AOS to NVC, and I thought that I am fully prepared. But then I decide to ask operator- if I filed them electronically would the copy of it be OK, and she said that I need to order Transcripts.

However after that conversation I realized that I have not filled them electronically. I've done my Taxes through Tax Preparer.

And now I don't know if I can send that ? Is it different copy then if I filled electronically??

I ordered transcripts, but afraid that it will slow me down...

Please share your thoughts on it!

Printed copies of your tax return are the same ...... regardless of filing method... the difference is how the IRS received them...

Yeah. And the transcript didn't take long at all. I think about a week in my case.

Thanks, I understand that..., however it does not answer my question....

How long it REALLY takes to get them (based on real people experience) and if someone sent copy of it and NOT Transcripts, and it was accepted ?

The SAME (as long as you include your entire Form 1040 & W-2's\1099's)

you can submit either a copy of ur tax returns or ur transcripts...its one and the same thing and serves the same purpose...i ordered mine and it got to me in about 2-3 days, it was very quick...if u ordered it yesterday, u shud expect to see something in the mail by thurs or fri. good luck!

You can also ask the IRS agent to fax the transcripts to you as well.

STARTING MY PACKET SOON, WAS WONDERING HOW MANY YEARS DO YOU NEED?

I asked 2 times and both times the answer was -1 year is enough, I am doing the last year only. I think some people need 3 years based on their unique situation

You can also ask the IRS agent to fax the transcripts to you as well.

Thanks, LuLu! Good to know! If I did not get them soon enough will definitely try that.

With photocopies of your tax-return that you submitted, you have to submit all W-2s, 1040 Forms, and 1099 (if any). The advantage of having transcripts ordered is that you don't have to submit copies of W-2s, 1040, etc. Tax Transcripts alone are sufficient. I ordered last 3 years of Tax Transcripts. Give it about 7-10 days to receive them.
