how long should a company keep payroll records
The IRS recommends that you keep payroll records like tax withholding until you and the employee can no longer file amendments for that tax year. In the case of employment records, the IRS guidelines say to keep the records for a minimum of four years after you pay the tax or the tax is due, whichever of the two dates is later. Small business expert Rieva Lesonsky suggests you keep employment records for a minimum of two years and for up to seven years.
