After you file

Maybe you could look at past banking records to see who you were making house payments to.  There are some documents that you really should just SAVE for yourself--W-2's, 1099's, mortgage 1098's....Keep them in a file folder or a storage bin, a desk drawer, whatever works.  And of course, you should be saving copies of your tax returns.
