Retention periods for contractor terms

Select the retention period according to the record’s actual tax, payroll, audit, or regulated-information purpose; state requirements may be longer.

Three years for tax records

IRC §6501(a) generally governs federal tax-record retention for contractor payment documentation.

Six years for major understatement

IRC §6501(a) extends the period when income understatement reaches 25 percent.

Three years for payroll records

29 CFR §516.5 applies when contractor terms accompany covered payroll records.

Seven years for SOX records

15 U.S.C. §7245 applies when the agreement supports covered Sarbanes-Oxley audit records.

Six years for HIPAA records

45 CFR §164.530(j) applies only when the record contains HIPAA-covered information.

Record-keeping practices for contractor terms

Preserve the signed agreement, completion certificate, audit trail, and applicable retention authority together.

Export the signed agreement and audit trail

Export the completed Contractor Terms Parker Dewey Form, certificate of completion, and audit trail together. The audit trail preserves signer actions, timestamps, and delivery details needed to explain how the agreement was executed.

Apply the applicable tax retention period

Keep contractor payment records for three years from filing under IRC §6501(a), extending retention to six years when income is understated by 25% or more. Apply longer state or contractual periods when required.

Restrict access to archived terms

Use secure storage with access limited to personnel handling contractor agreements and payments. Preserve the signed document in a reproducible format and prevent unauthorized replacement or deletion.

Separate regulated records from contracts

Review whether the agreement contains regulated information before selecting a retention period. HIPAA records require six years from creation or the last effective date under 45 CFR §164.530(j).
