Question 7

How long should I keep these records?

Accepted Answer

Generally, you must keep your supporting records until the period of limitations (the period of time when one can amend the return to claim a credit or refund, or the period of time when the IRS can assess additional tax ) for that return runs out.
Note: Keep copies of your filed tax returns. They help in preparing future tax returns and making computations if you file an amended return.
 • You owe additional tax and situations (2), (3), and (4), below, do not apply to you;keep records for 3 years.
 • You do not report income that you should report, and it is more than 25% of the gross income shown on your return; keep records for 6 years.
 • You file a fraudulent return; keep records indefinitely
 • You file a claim for credit or refund* after you file your return; keep records for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
 • You file a claim for a loss from worthless securities or bad debt deduction; keep records for 7 years
 • Keep all employment tax records for at least 4 years after the date that the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later.
