As stated, 7 years is the going term. Then either put them in a fire or shredder.

If it is for personal tax purposes the IRS has three years to audit you. If you run a side business though some of those records can be audited for up to 7 years. Anything over that other then for assets till sold can be tossed. Also unless it's providing some time of support for an audit toss it. The less paperwork the better. No one cares about your phone bill from last year unless your claiming it as a busniess tax deduction.

7 years becasue the government can audit you for the last 7 years at any time.

Fuzzy seems to be closer to the truth...I don't think a blanket number like 7 years really helps. Records that affect tax returns, anywhere from 3 years to forever. Records that have to do with assets (investments, house, etc.),'til you sell the asset. Can't see that keeping your phone bill for 7 years will be very useful...But that's what tax & financial advisors are for....And yeah, a good shredder...

2 years is good. when you get a loan most lenders want to see 2 years of records.
