Can I look online at last years income tax return.???......?
no. the IRS expects you to retain your tax returns and receipts for 2-3 years after they are filled in case they have questions. all you can do is call and see if they will mail you a copy
Reply:The IRS would not. However, if you filed online through another company, they may have the capability to keep your tax return on file. In general, professionals recommend that you keep information on the previous three year's tax returns as this is documentation the IRS may request in an audit.
Reply:An Enrolled Agent can if he is authorized by IRS (most are), and if authorized by YOU.





You can't do it yourself.

The follow has the phone number or form title you can download which you can use to get last years tax return. It does state that there is NO charge, but it takes 2 weeks for delievery.





Requesting transcripts (individuals):





You have two easy and convenient options for getting copies of your federal tax return information--tax return transcripts and tax account transcripts--by phone or by mail.





Request transcripts by calling 1-800-829-1040, or order by mail using IRS Form 4506T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return). We do not charge a fee for transcripts. Allow two weeks for delivery.





Definitions:





A tax return transcript shows most line items from your tax return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) as it was originally filed, including any accompanying forms and schedules. It does not reflect any changes you, your representative or the IRS made after the return was filed. In many cases, a return transcript will meet the requirements of lending institutions such as those offering mortgages and for applying for student loans.





A tax account transcript shows any later adjustments either you or the IRS made after the tax return was filed. This transcript shows basic data, including marital status, type of return filed, adjusted gross income and taxable income.
