Frequently Asked Questions: Everything You Need to Know About Our Tax & Notary Services
How long should I keep my tax records?
Even if the IRS doesn’t require you to keep certain records, it’s a good idea to retain them. Standard Rule: Keep your tax returns and supporting documents for at least 3 years from the date you filed your return. This includes W-2s, 1099s, receipts, and other documentation. If you underreported income by more than 25% of the amount shown on your return, keep records for 6 years. If you claimed a loss for bad debt or worthless securities, retain those records for 7 years.
If you fail to file a return or file a fraudulent return, keep records indefinitely. Keep records related to property (e.g., home purchases, investments) until at least 3 years after you sell or dispose of the property. These helps determine capital gains or losses.
What documents do I need to bring for my tax appointment?
You’ll need your W-2s, 1099s, ID, Social Security cards for all dependents, prior year’s tax return, and any other relevant financial documents. Contact us for a complete checklist!
