How long should you keep financial documents?
I'm pretty sure 7 years is as far as they (IRS) can go back for audits. Seems that everything older than that can go to the shredder. Are there exceptions I should know about?

Tax records, 7 years.
Bank records related to your taxes, business expenses--7 years
Bills--Keep receipts for big tickets items until you sell or dispose of it.
Credit card receipts--7 years
Paycheck stubs--1 year
House records--(improvements, mortgage--permanently. Expenses related to buying and selling of your house--6 years.

As far as I know it's 7 years for everything.

For tax purposes, I'd keep them for 7 years. IRS can go back 3 years if there is an honest error in your return. if you are being investigated for fraud, they can go back indefinitely. But the general rule is 7 years unless you are doing some questionable things that you feel are defensible.

7 Years is a good answer.

Most only do 3

For personal financial information the IRS requires 3 years unless there is a problem, then they can go back 7.

Yes. If you can it is best to keep all your W-2s, or check stubs from working. It helps you find out how much money social security will give you if you ever need it or when you retire.

It can also prove when they are wrong about the amount you actually paid in to it.

That, receipts to valuables - where you may need to show the original price you paid for something, when you sell it or put it up for auction, is all I can think of where you may need them more than seven years. (Unless, you want to give it to your descendants as genealogy sources.)

Yes, seven years is standard but I would keep all home related documents longer (payments, repair receipts.) The repairs can be deducted from the sale price of the home after you sell the home and have to claim it on taxes. Also keep all investment papers.

I work in the financial office at a nursing home, we only have to keep our financial docs, for 7 years, then they have to be burned or buried.

What I do is scan important documents, put them on a cd, and put them in my safe. That way i don't have to keep a bunch of papers. Plus it's safe from fires, floods, etc.
