How do you replace important documents after a natural disaster? If your personal and financial records have been destroyed, you may need to replace them quickly to receive federal assistance, file insurance claims and for tax purposes. Transcripts of filed tax returns can be obtained for free using “Get Transcript” on IRS.gov or by calling 800-908-9946. For bank or credit card statements, contact your bank or credit card company, or check online. For property-related documents, contact the title company, escrow company or bank that handled the home purchase, or the county assessor for older records. For home improvement records, ask your contractors for statements of costs.
