I would like to see someone introduce legislation that citizens cannot be held to a higher standard of documentation then the government agency they are dealing with.
If the IRS only has to maintain 6 months of records then any citizen dealing with them can only be held to the same standard....
“If the IRS only has to maintain 6 months of records then any citizen dealing with them can only be held to the same standard.”
Excellent idea! Just as I believe that armed government agents at any level should not be issued weaponry deadlier than anything citizens are permitted to own.
BTW, how long do you keep: bank statements? tax receipts? tax returns? credit card bills? Varies widely as to what’s recommended & what’s required.
