Musings -
To Shred or Not To Shred...?
Do you save every piece of paper and receipt because you might need it for the IRS? Well, there are some things that you have to save forever, but most financial records don't have to be saved for more than three years, many much less. If you are tryi ng to dig out from years of clutter your first step, like any other project, is to prioritize. Here is a look at what has to be saved and for how long.
- The first step is that you should be checking all receipts and statements to see that they have been correctly entered in your doing this regularly will make your job of de-cluttering much easier. Once everything is reconciled you can shred all of the paper copies.
- The next pile to look at is anything that might relate to your income or expenses. These are all records that you have to save for three years. These could be your W-2s, invoices, check records, or anything else that shows money that you made and reported on your taxes. This pile also includes proof of deductible expenses like sales receipts, medical expenses, invoices, or mileage logs. This category also includes receipts for any charities that you have supported.
- Your state and federal tax returns should be saved for six year; the IRS can audit for up to six years if they suspect so if you are concerned about an audit you might want to save them at least that long.
- Documents related to business or property, contracts or deeds and titles should be kept forever; or three years after they have been liquidated and reported.
- The last task is to check with your accountant and attorney to see if there is anything else that is specific to your own situation. There may be local permits or tax records that should be saved.
Once you have cleared these five projects you can shred everything else. Imaging how clear your space will be without these excess documents; doesn't that feel good?

 Your Money-Your Life Time for Change As we end this year it is time to update your records and profiles. First things first; change your passwords. We should be doing this several times a year, but we all tend to forget and  it is your first line of defense against hackers and identity theft. If you use the internet to do your banking or pay your bills verify that they all have your most current information; account numbers, stored credit cards (or change to different cards), and contact information. You don't want a bad guy to use your accounts. Finally update any of your social media accounts with new passwords and updated profiles. Identity theft has become a scourge of our economy. By keeping all of your important information current you are going a long way to protecting your identity and maintaining your family's peace of mind. |
