Good Records Reduce Stress at Tax Time You may not be thinking about your tax return right now, but now is a great time to start planning for next year and to make sure your records are organized. Maintaining good records now can make filing your return a lot easier and it will help you remember transactions you made throughout the year.
Here are a few things the IRS and Fresh Start Tax wants you to know about record keeping: Keeping well-organized records ensures you can answer any questions if your return is selected for examination or will help you to be able to prepare a response if you receive an IRS notice.

Mileage logs e. Canceled, imaged or substitute checks or any other proof of payment f. Any other records to support deductions or credits you claim on your return g. You should normally keep records relating to property until at least three years after you sell or otherwise dispose of the property. Examples include: A home purchase or improvement Stocks and other investments Individual Retirement Arrangement transactions Rental property records If you are a small business owner, you must keep all your employment tax records for at least four years after the tax becomes due or is paid, whichever is later. Examples of important documents business owners should keep include: Gross receipts: Cash register tapes, bank deposit slips, receipt books, invoices, credit card charge slips and Forms 1099-MISC Proof of purchases: Canceled checks, cash register tape receipts, credit card sales slips and invoices Expense documents: Canceled checks, cash register tapes, account statements, credit card sales slips, invoices and petty cash slips for small cash payments Documents to verify your assets: Purchase and sales invoices, real estate closing statements and canceled checks For more information about record keeping, check out IRS Publications 552, Record keeping for Individuals, 583, Starting a Business and Keeping Records, and Publication 463, Travel, Entertainment, Gift, and Car Expenses.
