I'm working on an application for a local police dept. and it says I need to include a copy of my previous years tax return. Anyone know what they're asking for? Do I just make a copy of the check I received?
Thanks for any help

No, a tax return is the " 1040" or whatever tax returns you sent in. A refund check is not a return , the document with how much money you made vs. how much tax you paid in is your return.

They are asking for what you sent to the IRS in order to receive that check. As stated by mcsap, most often it is your completed Form 1040.

Hmmm, well I mailed that months ago, do you think I could just fill another one out and attach that? I'd hate to have my application rejected because of something like that.
Thanks again

Lesson learned: keep copies of your tax returns for at least 5 years. Your police application aside, you can be audited by the IRS at random and not having these docs can cause all sorts of headaches for you if don't have them. Originally Posted by rnlindne

Whew, I was able to request a copy from the IRS. Now off to get a copy of my driving history... these things are thorough.
Thanks again
