Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello Dave183,

 

Hope you're doing great!!

 

Usually you should keep your income tax returns for 3 years from the date you filed your original return or 2 years from the date you paid the tax, whichever is later, if you file a claim for credit or refund after you file your return.

You may need to retain your records for a longer period. 

See this IRS article, How long should I keep records? for more details.
