Do you save you bills?

[ScAndal]

Do you guys save all your reciepts for your bills? Ex. Sprint Cell phone bill?

Do you have to save them for tax purposes? If I ever get audited, can't I just call Sprint and get a printout?

Yeah - my wife files them all away somewhere. Probably in that thing that looks like a filing cabinet which I rarely open.

 

[notfred]

No. I don't save pay stubs or bank statements either. I'm living on the edge, I know.

My mom has a whole draw of everything. She has a 5 year collection :shocked:

I keep one years worth of billing info in the bottom draw of my desk. After the year is over it become confetti. Of course I have access to PDF copies for most of my bills. I'm not sure why I still keep the hard copy.

 

[Heisenberg]

Yeah, I keep them.

My parents have stuff back to the late 80s I think.

I keep it all. When I get my tax return for the previous year, I move all of that year's stuff to storage.

OK it looks like everyone has a different approach. What is the LAW? How far back can they audit you?

or you can scan them and file them.

[mugs]

Yes, but I'm not quite sure why.

 

[cerebusPu]
