No one ever has to worry about the government losing your tax records.
Any other records are fair game though.
Particularly if it means that it helps the government
avoid paying out any money to you.

If the government does lose your records you can bet your farm that it won’t accept that as an excuse from you for not complying with whatever it requires of you no matter how essential those records are to you.
