LOL, I should have read the whole thread before I posted... ah well...
Anyway, as far as destroying the paperwork... I don't. I keep the job number and the receipts for everything in a file for 7 years. The IRS states that 3 years is good but there are situations they can come back after 7 (because this is my own business I CHOOSE to keep everything filed for 7).
I don't keep the full reports but I do keep all information as to who, when, where, what and how much.
O.o o.O
Happily shopping New England and beyond!!!!!
