How to obtain Tax Records

You may request a copy of a current or prior year Utah tax record, return or transcript, in person or by mail. The fee is $6.50 for a copy of each document requested. Additional charges may apply if research is required.

To request a copy of a tax record, return or transcript, complete a form TC-880, Request for Tax Records. List the tax year(s) requested and your social security number or identifying account number. Please provide a daytime phone number and sign the form. If mailing the TC-880, your signature must be notarized.

If you are requesting a copy of someone else’s return or transcript, you must have a power of attorney or notarized letter of consent (signed by that taxpayer). You can use Utah form TC-737, Power of Attorney and Declaration of Representative, for this purpose. Signatures will be verified.

All in-person requests will be filled within 24 hours. Mailed requests take one to two weeks.

Make all requests at:

Utah State Tax Commission
210 North 1950 West
Salt Lake City, UT 84134

If mailing your request, enclose a check or money order for the full amount ($6.50 for each document requested).

Requesting State Wage and Withholding Information

Form W-2 is a federal form issued by your employer. If you no longer have your W-2, please use the following steps to get a copy:

  1. Contact your employer: They are your fastest option for a replacement.
  2. Contact the IRS: If your employer cannot help, you must first request your federal tax information from the IRS (we cannot provide federal withholding).
  3. Contact us: Once you have obtained your federal information, you can request your state wage and withholding details from our office.
