Paperwork ~ how long should I keep it?

1/31/2014

0 Comments

 
My clients often ask how long they should keep their paperwork so I thought it would be helpful to share this information in my Blog.*  I will break it down into two parts. 

Part A - Personal Paperwork Timeline
Part B - Business Paperwork Timeline

PART A - PERSONAL PAPERWORK TIMELINE
SOURCE USED:  Bankrate.com

TAXES - 7 years
(Returns, canceled checks, receipts and other back-up documents used for tax calculation purposes)
  • The IRS has three years from your filing date to audit your return if it suspects good-faith errors.  The three year deadline also applies if you discover a mistake in your return and decide to file an amended return to claim a refund.
  • The IRS has six years to challenge your return if it thinks you underreported your gross income by 25% or more.
  • There is no time limit if you failed to file your return or filed a fraudulent return.

Emergency Kit for Paperwork

Keep an emergency kit with copies of the following documents.  I suggest that you store the originals in a safe-deposit box at your bank, or as a safety precaution, in a secure location at home.  However, your emergency kit should be accessible in the event of a natural disaster or emergency situation such as a fire, etc.  You may also want to make a backup of all copies on a CD or USB stick and include them in your kit as well.  Keep your paperwork in a waterproof plastic freezer bag preferably in a fireproof box. (Note:  Some sources recommend you should keep the original documents with your kit.)
