How long should you keep old phone bills?

I will suggest you keep the old bill for one month. The new bill to arrive will most often indicate whether the old balance was paid and the date when the old bill was paid. However, if your teenager's use of the phone is large you may wish to hold onto these bills until they have grown some. The time will come when your child will someday angrily scream , "You never buy me anything"! This is the time to run to the closet where you have stashed all the old bills that will show you and your child that you have paid a fortune for all their nattering.

How long do you need to keep old utility bills?

Until they are paid. There isn't really much reason to keep them, unless there are some items that can be deducted from your income taxes. For example, a couple of years ago, the IRS finally gave up a long series of court battles and allowed citizens to deduct an illegal telephone excise tax. The catch was, you had to have copies of your phone bills to calculate the refund. If you had the old bills (for three years back) you could take the deduction. So in SOME RARE cases, it MAY be USEFUL to keep three years of old utility bills. But there is no requirement to do so.
