My rule: Keep records and tax returns for years that include atypical transactions (sales or donations of property) and irregular income (stock option exercises, trust income, etc.) for six years after the filing date of the return. Keep a 2005 tax return that includes reporting of irregular items until April 2012.
Time Requirements for Tax Records. The rule for retaining tax returns and documents supporting the return is six years from the end of the tax year to which they apply. Your 2015 return and its supporting documents, for example, are safe to destroy at the end of 2021. There are situations that alter this rule.
