So we did our taxes and got them in a few weeks ago. Yesterday we got a letter from the IRS requesting our 1040 forms from 2012 and 2011. The letter stated that they were withholding our return until they could review our 2012 and 2011 forms and verify we filed and we don't owe them anything.
Question is...I'm not so sure I have all those forms because they're more than 3 years back. I always thought you only had to save documents for 3 years then were clear.
I'm going to have to start digging through files tonight and see if I have them, but is this request typical and what if I can't find the forms they're looking for?
