Sorry no,
You can contact the IRS and get copies of past returns.
Or if done by a firm, they will have copies.

QUOTE,"i need it to be free... and i need it today... is there an online sight??!! "-- Unless your return was filed by a tax preparer that makes copies available on line, there's no way to get one. The IRS does not make your tax returns available on line. If you need an actual copy of a return you must order it from the IRS, (for instance, you should complete the from 4506 ,Request for Copy of Tax Return, and mail it to the address listed in the instructions, along with a $57.00 fee for each tax year requested on the form 4506.) and wait about 8-9 weeks for it.In general, copies are available for returns filed in the current and paast six years.
