What You Can Expect

Recovery of Lost Documents

Did you lose your W-2s or 1099s from five years ago? You can’t file without them. We can access the IRS “Wage and Income” transcripts to see exactly what income was reported under your Social Security number, allowing us to prepare accurate past-due returns.

Verification of Payments

Sometimes the IRS loses checks or misapplies payments. We review your Account Transcripts to verify that every estimated tax payment and payroll deposit you made has been legally credited to your account balance.

Compliance Without Compromise

We stay current on the ever-changing tax code and make sure you stay compliant—whether you’re filing in one state or five. We even help you prepare for IRS audits or letters if they arise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get clear answers to common questions about our tax preparation services.

What exactly is an "IRS File," and why do I need it?

An IRS File is essentially the “master record” the government keeps on you. It’s officially called a Tax Transcript. It contains every detail about your income reported by employers, your filing history, any payments you’ve made, and any “transaction codes” that show if you are under review or at risk of a levy. Obtaining this file is the first step in any tax resolution because it tells us exactly what the IRS knows—and what they think you owe—before we ever speak to them.

Will requesting my file "red flag" my account or trigger an audit?
This is a very common fear, but the answer is no. Tax professionals request transcripts every day to help clients with planning and compliance. When Molen & Associates requests your file, we use professional channels that allow us to gather your information discreetly.[1] It doesn’t signal that you’ve done something wrong; it signals that you are being proactive about your tax health.
Can’t I just get my own transcripts from the IRS website for free?
You can, but IRS transcripts are written in complex “computer shorthand” and transaction codes (like TC 150 or TC 971) that are nearly impossible for the average person to decipher. At Molen & Associates, our Education Focused approach means we don’t just hand you a pile of paperwork; we translate that jargon into a clear report so you understand your status, your deadlines, and your options.

I lost my old W-2s and 1099s. Can my IRS file help me file old returns?
Absolutely. One of the most valuable parts of your file is the Wage and Income Transcript. This lists all the income reported to the IRS under your Social Security number by your employers, banks, and clients. If you’re missing records from several years ago, this file allows us to reconstruct your tax history accurately so we can get you back into compliance.
How far back does my IRS file go?
Generally, we can retrieve “Wage and Income” data for the last 10 years and “Account Transcripts” for even longer. This is particularly helpful if you have old tax debt and we need to calculate your Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED)—the date the IRS is legally required to stop collecting on your debt.
I’m applying for a mortgage and they need my transcripts. Can you help?
Yes. Lenders often require a “Tax Return Transcript” to verify the income you reported on your last two or three years of filings. We can quickly pull the official Record of Account to ensure your loan process stays on track without you having to navigate the IRS phone lines or wait weeks for the mail.
What is a "Record of Account" transcript?

This is the most comprehensive file available. It combines your Return Transcript (the data from your original filing) with your Account Transcript (any changes made by the IRS later, like penalties or payments).[2][3] We typically pull this version because it gives us the most complete “360-degree view” of your tax situation.

Why should I have Molen & Associates pull my file instead of doing it myself?
With over 40 years of experience, we’ve seen thousands of IRS files. We know how to spot errors the IRS has made, identify if penalties can be removed, and see “red flags” before they turn into audits. Think of us as your translator and your strategist—we take the raw data and turn it into a plan that protects your family and your finances.
