Joey, suggest you go to the IRS tax site -- www.irs.gov -- in the search box, type in &quot;How long should I keep records&quot; -- click on the appropriate listing that comes up (it should be the first one) -- After reading it, I&#39;m sure you will still be confused.<br />
<br />
The short answer is probably 3 yrs. after you file and pay, or 3 yrs. after the date the tax is due -- whichever is later.  But, of course, there are exceptions.  However, I&#39;m not giving tax advice, so you should not rely on anything I say&#33;&#33;&#33;  (If you believe I am weaseling, you are correct.)
