@Pam – It can be a bit overwhelming with everything we’re supposed to keep track of, can’t it? Luckily a scanner and a hard drive can help remove some of the paper clutter while holding onto your records. Thanks for reading and hope to see you back on the blog soon.

WOW, now there’s a reason for that bigger house I’ve been wanting! 10 years. Ok. Got it.

Agreed. Ten years is a good amount of time to keep your records. Thanks for the article! http://www.avoidbeingaudited.com

My significant other just asked me this question last week. I remember you telling us Enrolled Agent wannabees (we were studying for the EA in your class at the time), that you suggest to never get rid of ANY tax returns. So, I told him what you told me: “That’s what Tax Mama said!” On another note, you would have loved my father. When he passed away about 10 years ago, we were going through his papers, and found he had his tax returns from the 1930′s. Whew – that was a LOT of shredding!
