10 Easy Ways to Organize Your Paperwork

[paulajeansjewelryandcloset]

I found this article on the web and thought you all might enjoy it. Paula :) Every New Year brings with it the liberating fact that you can trash a slew of the financial papers that pack your home office (a.k.a. the dining-room table). Experts say you can get financial-record chaos under control in just a few easy steps, the first one being: Toss out what you can. Paycheck stubs, monthly credit-card statements, and brokerage reports can all go (once you’ve checked them against your final, end-of-year statement), as can utility bills (if you don’t need them for business deductions). Find out which papers you do need to keep, and the best way to organize them. http://www.realsimple.com/realsimple/package/0,21861,1841021-688976-1,00.html?xid=weeklynews --

"I keep at least two years worth of receipts and statements of bills and such" just a small reminder folks.... if you are a business, you need to keep ALL of your reciepts etc for a minimum of 3 years and as much as 6 years...for tax auditing purposes.... http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=98513,00.html also check your local state / county requirements. personally i just keep it all and store it away....carefully sorted and filed in manila envelopes in boxes. its the IRS folks.... don't take chances... just a thought. michael -- Closing the Recycling loop: Reuse
