Quick Facts About the IRS Tax Return Transcript

1. There is no charge for the IRS Tax Return Transcript.
2. Applicants can request their tax transcript as soon as the IRS processes their return.  The IRS generally processes online returns within three weeks and those filed by paper within six to eight weeks.
3. Applicants should receive the transcript within 5 to 10 calendar days after a request is made.  This does not change based upon "peak" times for the IRS because the system is automated.
