Whether you keep a more old-fashioned paper file or a digital file, make a single place for all of your financial records. Create subcategories that identify the type of bill or expense. If you're keeping digital records, you may be able to use your email account to help organize your records. Use the same email address for all of your bills and create tags or filters to put those billing statements in categories. To reduce clutter in your inbox, open a separate account for bills and don't use that email address for personal email. You can also scan your bills and make PDFs to keep on your computer as a digital copy. Keeping your income statements and receipts in one place will make for fewer headaches come tax time. If you're keeping paper files, create a separate folder specifically for deductible expenses. Within your file for deductible expenses include files with categories, such as home and office expenses, mileage and vehicle expenses, childcare expenses, and medical expenses. Go through your expense files at least once a month. If you paid a bill that you believe is deductible, move it to the deductible file (or make a copy of it and keep it in both places). Any document that has your signature, account number, medical, legal, or other identification information should be shredded rather than simply thrown in the trash. By leaving this information intact you are putting yourself at risk for identity theft. If you don't own a shredder, you can buy a basic one online or at office supply stores for typically around $20 or $30. There are more expensive versions that may shred faster, or shred more documents at once, or that also shred CDs or credit cards. It's up to you whether a fancier shredder is worth the investment for you. You can also subscribe to a shredding service if you don't want to do all that work yourself. For example, in the US, office supply stores such as Staples or Office Depot will shred your documents for you at the rate of about $1 per pound. Just as you may do a spring cleaning of your living space, your financial records could use a yearly deep-clean as well. At the end of the calendar year, go through your files and shred or delete records you no longer need to keep. Generally, you can follow this schedule: Keep for 1 year: monthly utility bills, pay stubs, credit card statements, investment statements, bank statements, and the like. Keep year-end summary statements for 3 years. Keep for 7 years: receipts for major purchases, income tax records, loan contracts, mortgage contracts and payment records, investment purchase records, year-end investment summaries, other final payment documents. Keep indefinitely: medical records, real estate deeds, and car titles (as long as you own the car). Although they aren't necessarily financial records, birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and degrees or diplomas also fall in this category.
