We scan in everything and keep for 10 years. We itemize everything and keeping it for a long time gives us a sense of security in the event of an audit. I actually wonder how long our accountant keeps our returns.

Why 7 specifically?


You can be audited for up to 7 years after you file; you need to have the paperwork to back up your return.

After 7 years, the only reason they could audit you is if they suspected deliberate fraud.


IRS Audit period is 3 from date you file taxes. Where are you getting 7?

If you do itemized deductions how long do you keep your reciepts for each year?
