Recordkeeping
Prompt Starters
- The Importance of Recordkeeping: "Did you know that the IRS doesn't mandate a specific format for keeping your tax records? Whether digital or physical, the key is ensuring your records are legible and readily available. How do you manage your tax records, and have you found a system that works well for you?"
- Understanding Statutes of Limitation: "Many people aren't aware that the typical statute of limitations for tax documents is three years from the due date of the return. But there are exceptions, like keeping records for seven years if you claim losses from worthless securities. Have you ever had to dig up old records for the IRS after several years?"
- The Role of Substantiation in Tax Filing: "Substantiating your income and expenses is crucial for tax filing. The IRS can request proof of nearly any item on your return to verify its accuracy. Have you ever experienced a situation where you had to provide additional documentation to the IRS? How did you handle it?"
- Tax Preparers and Recordkeeping: "Tax preparers have their own set of recordkeeping rules, needing to keep copies of returns or a list of prepared returns for at least three years. If you use a tax preparer, have you ever discussed their recordkeeping policies? It's interesting to think about how our records are managed on both ends."
