You've gotta keep more than just your tax return, according to the IRS!
🗂️ For most tax records, the rule of thumb is to keep them for at least 3 years (your W-2s, 1099s, etc.).
But in some cases, you might need to hold onto things for 4 years, 6 years, or even longer!
Keeping these documents helps you respond to notices, amend a return, or prove that you actually made a tax payment.
It doesn't have to be hard! Keep a folder for each tax year with your supporting docs and your tax return, and make sure you've got it backed up + secure. 🔐
