-- -Rowan- 4/13/2014. I think the name Rowan is beautiful for a girl, but a little rough for a boy. I once read a book about a girl named Rowan because there was a Rowan tree outside of her mum's bedroom window when she was pregnant.
For most people, that means keeping your tax records for at least three years from the date you actually filed your tax return. Some states have a longer statute of limitations. In that case, you should keep your tax records for as long as the statute of limitations is still open for a particular tax return. The statute of limitations gives the IRS three years to audit your tax return.
The IRS recommends keeping records for â3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.â You should also keep records for three years if you owe additional tax and the situations described in sections 3 and 4 below donât apply.f you file a return and claim a loss from worthless securities or take a deduction for a bad debt, you should keep your income tax papers for seven years.
