A storm can strike suddenly and it may occur when family members are in different places, so develop a family communications plan. Make a Ready kit for at least three days of self-sufficiency. Familiarize yourself with the terms that are used to identify a tornado hazard.
In most cases, you should plan on keeping tax returns along with any supporting documents (e.g., W-2s, mileage logs if you itemize, etc.) for a period of at least three years following the date you filed or the due date of your tax return, whichever is later.or instance, if you omit more than 25% of your gross income from your return, the IRS has six years instead of three to assess an additional tax. Also, if you file a fraudulent return or donât file one at all (we donât recommend either!), the statute of limitations never expires.
The Internal Revenue Service requires companies to keep business tax returns and supporting documents for a minimum of three years from the time of filing. During this time, the return can be amended or audited. If you failed to report income, however, the IRS can come after your business for up to six years. If the business took a deduction for a worthless security or bad debt, the IRS can pursue the issue for seven years. To be safe, a business should keep tax records in its permanent files. If that's not possible, tax records should be kept for seven years to account for most scenarios where the records might be needed.
