Business tax return transcripts are an invaluable tool for proving your income to lenders who may require them for loans, mortgages or other purposes. A tax return transcript includes most line items from your original return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ), along with any forms and schedules as filed; however it does not reflect changes made after filing that return by you or your representative.

Obtaining your business tax return transcript online is now simpler than ever. Simply visit the IRS website, select “File”, then choose the option for “Tax Return Transcript”.
