How do I get the 2017 tax form

Q) I had to revise my sons 2017 tax form and mailed it in. He did get his refund but I did not save the original file. He needs it for school. How do I get the 2017 tax form that he needs to give to his school?
Thank you

A) There are a few ways to get a copy of your son’s 2017 tax form.

• Request a transcript from the IRS. You can request a transcript of your son’s tax return from the IRS. This will give you a copy of the return, including any amended returns that you filed. You can request a transcript online, by mail, or by phone.
• Contact the tax preparer who filed the return. If you used a tax preparer to file your son’s tax return, you can contact them to request a copy of the return.
• Look for the return in your records. If you filed your son’s tax return electronically, you may be able to find a copy of the return in your email or in your online tax preparation software. If you filed your son’s tax return by paper, you may be able to find a copy of the return in your filing cabinet.

Once you have a copy of the tax return, you can give it to your son’s school.

Here are the steps on how to request a transcript from the IRS:

1. Go to the IRS website and click on “Get Transcripts.”
2. Select the type of transcript you need. For your son’s 2017 tax return, you will need to select “Tax Return Transcript.”
3. Enter your son’s Social Security number and date of birth.
4. Select the delivery method you want. You can request a transcript to be mailed to you, or you can have it delivered electronically to your online account.
5. Click on “Submit.”

The IRS will send you a copy of your son’s tax return transcript within 5 business days.thumb_upthumb_downrefreshGoogle itmore_vert
