The length of time you should keep a document depends on the action, expense, or event the document records. Generally, you must keep your records that support an item of income or deductions on a tax return until the period of limitations for that return runs out.
The period of limitations is the period of time in which you can amend your tax return to claim a credit or refund, or that the IRS can assess additional tax. The below information contains the periods of limitations that apply to income tax returns. Unless otherwise stated, the years refer to the period after the return was filed. Returns filed before the due date are treated as filed on the due date.
Note: Keep copies of your filed tax returns. They help in preparing future tax returns and making computations if you file an amended return.

If you owe back taxes to the IRS how far back can you count it?
It can go back for forever....if you didn't file a return, the Statute of Limitations never starts and hence, it never ends. That same SOL has many conditions that can make it go on and on...so if they assessed and you didn't pay, again, ot can go on and on. Generally, and only generally, the IRS will be unyielding on the last 7 years returns - or as far back as they show communication abut, if longer. ------- They came after me for the last 10 years. My CPA says they COULD come after me for prior years but since they have no computer records of anything either way, its unlikely they will. (I am working to resolve it now)
