What tax documents can you safely shred? And which ones should you keep?

Once you file your 2024 tax return, you may want to shred or delete tax records. But if the IRS audits your return, you could have to produce documentation. It’s a good idea to keep the actual returns indefinitely. But what about supporting records such as receipts, canceled checks and 1099 forms? In general, the IRS can only assess tax within three years after the return for the year was filed (or three years after the return was due). For example, if you filed your 2022 return by the April deadline in 2023, the IRS has until April 2026 to assess a tax deficiency against you. If you file late, the IRS generally has three years from the date you filed.

Turn a summer job into tax savings: Hire your child and reap the rewards

With summer fast approaching, you might be considering hiring young people at your small business. If your children are also looking to earn some extra money, why not put them on the payroll? You may be able to turn your high-taxed income into tax-free or low-taxed income by shifting some business earnings to your child for services performed. To deduct the wages as a business expense, the work done must be legitimate and the child’s salary must be reasonable. You also may be able to achieve Social Security tax savings (if your business isn’t incorporated) and your child may even be able to make retirement plan contributions. Contact us if you have any questions.
