My mom is not sure if her husband has filed their taxes or not. She is suspicious that he has already filed it cashed their tax return check. Is there any way she can find out whether or not their taxes have been filed yet? He has told her he asked for an extension on filing them, however, she does not believe him.
I suggest your mother to request a tax return transcript from the IRS.
A tax return transcript shows most line items from your tax return (Form 1040, 1040A or 1040EZ) as it was originally filed, including any accompanying forms and schedules.
Request transcripts by calling 1-800-829-1040, or order by mail using IRS Form 4506T (Request for Transcript of Tax Return). There is no fee for transcripts. Allow two weeks for delivery.
A tax return transcript may be used as a proof that the tax return was filled.
Let me know if you need any help.
Thank you for your prompt response,If their taxes have not been filed, would the request for an filing extension also be available on that transcript?
No - only tax return information is available on the transcript.
To verify if an extension was filled - she need to contact the IRS directly - by calling 1-800-829-1040 or
just walk-in your local IRS office - no appointment needed - let me know if you need contact information in your state.
