Getting IRS Tax Trasncript

[Matt Cox]

Hi All,

Wasn't sure exactly which forum to put this in, but is anyone else unable to get a copy of their 2020 tax transcript (not the return itself, the document is called the "transcript")? I created an account on irs.gov and it's still not available. As you all know, getting loans is an important part of our business. I've managed to get a few loans through without the transcript, but my lender has told me it's going to be very difficult going forward to get more loans if I don't have it given that it's now 2022 and I still don't have a 2020 transcript. I've done all the normal stuff as far as contacting the IRS and I get hung up on every time I call. Also of note: I filed way back in April so I'm not one of the ones that's delayed because I filed incorrectly, had to make changes, etc. I also have a copy of the check showing that the IRS cashed it. I also of course have copies of my actual returns. Bottom line: I need the transcript and can't get it. Anyone else going through this? Or have any ideas how to solve this problem? Thanks as always!
