How to check IRS transcript online vs waiting for mail? Need quick access!
I need to check my tax transcript but don't want to wait for snail mail. Is there a way to verify my information online? I heard there was a way but not sure how to do it. Really need this info asap for a mortgage application.

Yes, you can access your transcript online through IRS.gov. Go to 'Get Transcript Online' and create an account. You'll need your SSN, filing status, a personal account number from a credit card/mortgage/loan, and a mobile phone with your name on the account for verification. Once verified, you can instantly access all your tax documents.

Yep! Federal student loan account numbers work perfectly for verification 👍

Instead of trying to navigate the IRS website which can be confusing af, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it's only $1 and it helps you understand exactly what's in your transcript. Been using it for months and its honestly a game changer https://taxr.ai

PSA: if ur doing this for a mortgage application make sure to get the RECORD OF ACCOUNT transcript. Learned this after my lender rejected the account transcript 🙃
