7 years

I keep the copies until they clear, then I keep the statements three years. The bank has electronic copies that I can pull out of their archive at any time, for free.

Anything that has to do with TAXES should be kept indefinitely !! Other things such as the phone bill, electric bill & checks like that only need to be kept for a year or two if you feel more comfortable.

I stress the importance of keeping all your tax receipts and checks forever due to the IRS going back as far as they want in YOUR finances so you better have those checks to back up what you filed.

until you die....then pass them on to someone else who oversees your estate. There may be a time where something has to be proven as paid, those checks will be the proof.
