The following are the IRS official record retention requirements. Please remember to follow them explicitly when you file a fraudulent tax return; or if you forget to file a tax return, remember to file your records indefinitely.
"Note: Keep copies of your filed tax returns. They help in preparing future tax returns and making computations if you file an amended return.
1. You owe additional tax and situations (2), (3), and (4), below, do not apply to you; keep records for 3 years.
2. You do not report income that you should report, and it is more than 25% of the gross income shown on your return; keep records for 6 years.
3. You file a fraudulent return; keep records indefinitely.
4. You do not file a return; keep records indefinitely.
5. You file a claim for credit or refund* after you file your return; keep records for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later.
6. You file a claim for a loss from worthless securities or bad debt deduction; keep records for 7 years.
7. Keep all employment tax records for at least 4 years after the date that the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later.
Maybe if you expanded your horizon beyond the entrance to your trailerpark . . . .
You’re trying just a little to hard to be cute and clever to be anything but a troll to be ignored.
