Retain records longer when a substantial income understatement affects the related tax return.

Indefinite for fraud or no return

Preserve supporting payment evidence while the entity’s federal tax records remain subject to examination.

For the applicable tax period

Keep electronic copies reproducible, protected from alteration, and available to authorized personnel.
