[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Must say you need to do this for your miscellaneous expenses like entertainment, books,v etc.  How would you organize all the receipts?  Would you use a binder?  (That's what I am thinking of doing).  Or is there some other way that would work?  And how do you keep the receipts from fading over time?  This may sound crazy, but[b] we may need to do this for my son's special needs bank account,[/b] although I am still not sure what we need to keep track of since he does not have the account yet.  I think we need to keep the records for at least a year too.  I am guessing it will be about 5 receipts a month that we need to keep.[/quote]

Huh? Can you explain?

I'm not understanding why you need to hoard receipts especially miscellaneous ones. I could understanding keeping receipts for medications, doc visits, etc for HSA, but that's not what you are asking about.[/quote]

I am the guardian for a family member.  I am required to keep a receipt for every penny I spend.  I then have to mail these original receipts and all bank monthly reports and an accounting for review every year.

I keep every receipt in a folder in a file cabinet.  The requirements for guardian accounts in VA are archaic (ie can't use bill pay) so its old school filing system and copier and spreadsheet.[/quote]
