After we got married I realized I would need a new system for organizing taxes. I sat for a long while and thought about a solution. After exhausting different possibilities I came up with a system that has now survived its forth tax season.


First I wanted a new filing cabinet


I bought file folders and labeled our tax folders. All of my tax papers go in these folders. {I use post it notes to label all my file folders}



I needed a storage unit for old tax information.



After we finish taxes for the year I take all the receipts and tax papers and store them in a folder with the year and date to shred! I believe we need to keep tax information for seven years.

And we are done!
