I could not get tax transcripts online. I used all the details, received the code in the email etc. and finally got stuck at the stage when the system asks my phone number. It does not recognize my PRE-PAID number. I tried to call IRS but they are not receiving phone calls. They do not seem to be accepting hard copies now. Any alternative suggestions. I need my transcripts to apply for immigration.

Not A Product Question

Do you think they will accept fax in this moment? Or is it a good idea to buy a non-pre-paid phone so that I can get my transcripts online?

Thank you for the response.

You cannot use a pre-paid phone, it must be a standard phone in you name that is listed in the phone company records that the IRS checks against.

Since the IRS is not accepting mail requests and phone services is very limited, then there are no other options at this time other then wait until things return to normal.

I do not know of any "fax" option. I have no idea how long after subscribing to a new phone it takes for the verify data to become available ti the IRS. (I suspect that the IRS does that through one of the major credit agencies that might take 2-3 months to get new credit data from a phone company).

I have been trying to get a 2019 tax Return Transcript for close to a month. I am able to get prior years online (2016-18), but I still cannot see the 2019 one. Ironically, I can get 2019 Account Transcripts (since 2015) and Wage & Income Transcripts (for a whole decade!).

I hope they get their act together fast! I need that for legal purposes and the countdown clock is ticking...

Earlier this week, I sent in a paper form request for that transcript (Form 4506-T). It was only today I noticed that they supposedly are not accepting them. Time will tell.

We may not be able to solve the problem you are having regarding getting your transcript in this abnormal time, but this should be a demonstration of why you should always print out a copy of your tax return for your own records. Going forward, be sure you do that.
