In general, the IRS recommends keeping tax-related documents for at least three years after the filing date, as this is the period during which they can audit your return. However, if you underreport your income by more than 25%, you should keep records for six years. Certain documents, like those related to property, may need to be kept longer, especially if they affect capital gains. Always check local laws and regulations, as they may vary.

You can keep a lot of money at home if you want to. As long as you have legally earned money, you do not have to keep it in a bank. It may be safer in a bank but you can keep it in your home.
For most items of income and expense, three years is the normal rule. However, for any item, such as depreciation on assets which can be claimed in excess of the normal three years, you will want to keep your papers for as long as you are claiming the asset. Papers relating to your cost, or cost basis, in capital assets should be kept forever and handed down to whoever will inherit these assets from you.
It is recommended that you keep your tax returns at least five years after you file.
i would say 18-25 years at most
Some papers are more or less permanent, such as titles to property. Tax returns: I'd say seven years. Papers that are duplicated in the public records: it doesn't really matter, because you can always obtain copies from the public records.
