VLast year the IRS took down their 'Get Transcript' App after they discovered criminals were using it to access transcripts of hundreds of thousands of old tax returns. The App was designed to allow tax payers to look up all their old tax returns easily. The App did not have sufficient security measures in place allowing for tax payers returns to be accessed by people other than the tax payer.
After taking down the 'Get Transcript' App last year, the IRS solicited the help of digital experts from the U.S. Digital Service and other security authorities to beef up their security measures. With increased security measures in place, the IRS reported the App is back up and running. The 'Get Transcript' App not only has additional security measures in place, it has new features allowing taxpayers to see the date and time when their page was last accessed. The App allows taxpayers to validate income for mortgages or student loans as well as obtain their prior year adjusted gross income (AGI), which is needed to e-file current year returns. You can access the 'Get Transcript' App today at: www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript

The information you shared is very relevant. If we are so busy with our work, we don’t have information on these essential things that are most important to us. This blog helped a lot. I have noticed this site so that I will be up to date in the future.
