I might need the 2012 return for a possible amended return. If client can't come up with it, what is the best way to get this? Statute of limitations coming up.

Obtain a POA via form 2848. Call IRS, fax to them while on the phone with them, then request a Income & wage Transcript PLUS an Income Tax Return transcript for tax year 2012 be faxed to you. I go for fax and mail to me.

Or have the TP visit the local IRS office if there is one and get it same-day.

With a POA you can get the transcripts from Eservices without waiting hours for the IRS to answer the phone and fax them to you.

POA has to be posted before you can use E-Services

With a POA you can get the transcripts from Eservices without waiting hours for the IRS to answer the phone and fax them to you.

The POA has to be posted before E-services will work. This morning I called the IRS @ 6:15am PST, waited 5 min for the IRS to answer, faxed in my completed and signed POA, IRS faxed away transcripts to me. Whole process from the time I dialed to the time I had the faxes, 30 mins.
