They say you should keep them for 7 years, but as far as the IRS goes, they say they can go back to whatever year they want to audit you, so I just keep mine. They don't take up that much room thankfully.

I think the suggested time is 7 years.

Taken directly from the IRS website (cited below)
"The length of time you should keep a document depends on the action, expense, or event the document records. Generally, you must keep your records that support an item of income or deductions on a tax return until the period of limitations for that return runs out.

The period of limitations is the period of time in which you can amend your tax return to claim a credit or refund, or that the IRS can assess additional tax. The below information contains the periods of limitations that apply to income tax returns. Unless otherwise stated, the years refer to the period after the return was filed. Returns filed before the due date are treated as filed on the due date."

the latest anyone can use for tax auditing is 7 years. After that, nothing is viable.


Yep!

It is recommended to keep Tax records 3 years, you want to keep all W2 income information to compare with your SS statement when you retire. And if you have a home to keep any records of home improvements indefintely to adjust the basis of your home should you ever sell it

the IRS can go back three years if they don't find anything, if they do, then they can go back seven years. I would keep your records for at least three years.

Apparently, you are supposed to keep them until you retire, mainly for social security payout purposes, but also if you get audited. I had heard five, but forever is your safest bet.

The rest of your natural life.

Forever. If you get audited, you will pay for it.
Make a box of all your records, and keep them just in case.

IRS is 7 yrs past, so after that, they cannot go after you, so just keep them that long.
