Other threads I found were overly "old" to reply to, sorry. My cornucopia runneth over with money matters this week. I lost the locking lid to it Sunday. My DW's 80 year old aunt is still very spry but she seems to be within $100 dollars of choosing which brand of cat food to dine on. She...

I am contemplating shredding all my tax documents that are in paper form. I would only keep a digital copy (and backup) of the return, the W2, INT, DIV and 1099 forms, etc. I googled and did not find any answer to the question below. If audited would the IRS accept reprinted versions of the...
