We explore the statute of limitations for tax records, the importance of supporting documents, and special considerations for non-residents and property sales.
Some takeaways
Keep copies of all your tax records for as long as necessary.
The statute of limitations for tax records is three years for refunds.
If you never filed a tax return, keep records indefinitely.
Non-residents should hold onto property sale records until the issue is resolved.
Employment records should be kept until a Social Security application is submitted.
And a whole lot more.
