How to obtain 5 years' worth of tax transcripts

[Charro 17]

Hello , I recently submitted the naturalization ( n400) application. I filed based on the 5 year category. Just in case, I am carrying to the interview 5 years' worth of tax transcripts. I was able to get 2013,2014 and 2015 from the IRS free of charge. How do I obtain the two other years ? And if I can't obtain them , can I take my tax returns instead?  Thanks.

I was able to obtain 6 years online here.

Q15. How do I request a transcript for an older tax year when it’s not available online?

Tax return and record of account transcripts are only available for the current tax year and three prior tax years when using Get Transcript Online. Note: There is a “show all +” expand button below the online tax account transcript type that may provide additional tax years you need. Otherwise, you must submit Form 4506-T to request a transcript for a tax year not available.

Tax return and tax account transcripts are also limited to the current and prior three tax years when using Get Transcript by Mail. However, you may be able to get older tax account transcripts by calling our automated phone transcript service at 800-908-9946. Otherwise, you must submit Form 4506-T.

Thanks @Andy78 and @Ben&Zian I will call them to get those years. The 4506-T form comes with a $57 fee I believe so hopefully just calling in will be free. ?Thanks again.

while on the subject...I have a question please.

Transcripts are the same as a copy of the tax return front page?

No it isn't. And I just called the IRS number and you can only get via mail the last three years. So I will either pay to get that one transcript I need or use the tax return the accountant sent us.
