Document Destruction
 |  |
Destroying documents to protect the privacy of individuals and to follow state and federal regulation compliance is critical to combat identity theft and corporate espionage. Each year, approximately 10 million Americans are affected by identity theft.
The American Society for Industrial Security estimates that corporate espionage, such as stealing customer lists, marketing plans, and other proprietary information, costs the American economy $45 billion in lost profits and opportunities.

| TYPE OF RECORD | LENGTH OF TIME TO KEEP OR SHRED |
| Bank Records | Keep those with long-term importance related to your taxes, business expenses, home improvements and mortgage payments. Shred those that have no long-term importance. |
| Bills | Shred bills when the cancelled check from a paid bill has been returned. Keep bills for large purchases like jewelry, appliances, furniture, etc. |
| Brokerage statements | Keep until you sell the securities. You will need the purchase slips from your brokerage or mutual fund to show capital gains or losses at tax time. |
| Credit Card Receipts and Statements | Keep your original receipts until you get your monthly statement. Shred the receipts if the two match up. Keep the statements for seven years if tax-related expenses are documented. |
| Paycheck stubs | Keep for one year. Make sure when you receive your annual W-2 form from your employer that the information on your stubs match. |
| Retirement/savings plan statements | Keep the quarterly statements until you receive the annual summary. If everything matches up, then shred the quarterlies. Keep the annual summaries until you retire or close the account. |
| Tax Returns (including canceled checks/receipts for alimony, charitable contributions, mortage interest and retirement plan contributions) | Keep for seven years. The IRS has three years from your filing date to audit your return if it suspects good faith errors. The three year deadline also applies if you discover a mistake and the IRS has six years to challenge you if it thinks you underreported your gross income by 25 percent or more. |
