TrixieB Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I am cleaning out a bureau in preparation for re-doing my dining room. I have a stack of old checkbook registers going back at least 10 years. I use Quicken for my record-keeping, so all the info from my checking account is in Quicken. It seems to me that keeping the paper registers is redundant. Is there any reason I would need to keep the old checkbook registers? If so, how many years' worth should I keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in KY Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I keep 7 years' worth for tax purposes. Medical receipts may need to be kept longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 No. Some people don't even have them. Bank statements supposedly could be kept for 7 years, if you might get audited. However, I expect if you were audited it would not be insurmountable to get them from your bank, unless you've changed banks repeatedly.
