You can get a free IRS transcript...

I had no idea you could get this...

There are 5 kinds of transcripts. Basically, it's a snapshot of previous tax returns -- forms filed, income, etc.

This CNBC article has some good information on when a transcript might be helpful: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/20/how-irs-transcripts-can-help-this-tax-filing-season-.html

While this article is a pretty good overview of the nuts and bolts of the different kinds of transcripts, what's in them, etc.

I could see such a document being useful if you have a complex tax return and want to make sure you're filing the same forms as previous years.
