Tax documents – what should you keep and what should you shred?

April 15 has come and gone, you’re done with your tax return and now have a pile of papers. So what should you keep after you’ve gotten your refund and for how long? Below are the general guidelines.

- Three years: Tax return forms and schedules plus all information to support what you claimed on your return, especially records related to property, investments, or business assets. While there are exceptions, the IRS generally has 3 years to assess additional tax and audit returns. Not coincidentally, three years is also the amount of time you have to amend your return. The state of Georgia also has 3 years to audit your state tax return.

- Six years: Forms W-2, 1099, etc. because the IRS has six years to contact you if you've failed to report income.
Seven years: Any information regarding loss from worthless securities or bad debts.

- Certain documents, such as those related to home, property or investment, should be kept for an even longer period of time.

Summer is just around the corner, which means it’s time to start planning your family vacation. Here are a few tips

1. Choose your vacation spot carefully. Consider opting for a national park, or any other non-coastal areas. It is also cheaper to visit winter tourist hot spots during the summer.

2. Fly during the week. Instead of flying out on the weekends, plan your vacation so that you’re flying out and back on Mondays or Tuesdays, when tickets are the cheapest.

3. Skip the hotel. Hotel lodging can be precey, especially with a large family. Considering renting a house or apartment. Swapping houses, while sounds sketchy, can also be a good option for those on a budget.

4. Stay in a place with a kitchen. Dining out tends to be a huge part of a family’s vacation budget, so being able to hit the local grocery store and prepare your own meals and not eating out as much can be a big money saver.

5. Set a souvenir budget. Decide at the beginning of the trip on how much you can spend on souvenirs and be more selective with what you want. Also stay away from airport or resort souvenir shops as they will always be more expensive.

6. Take advantage of various websites. A host of websites exist to help you plan your vacation. For example, the website costtodrive.com provide comparison of the cost between driving and flying. Others, such as airfarewatchdog.com, help consumers find the best flight deal.

7. Stay-cation is always an option. Take advantage of local summer events. Local libraries often offer fun summer programs for kids. And parks often organize outdoor movie screenings.

The IRS generally issues refunds in less than 21 days after a return is filed. However, the 21 days is for a perfectly clean return with no red flags or incorrect information. There are a range of issues that can hold up your refund. What could hold up your return? Any errors or missing documents or information can slow down the process. If your return contain information inconsistent with IRS data can also be a problem. Red flags such as claiming people that are not eligible as your dependents can further delay your refund. The best way to avoid refund holdup is to keep your tax documents and records organized and use a professional tax service to avoid mistakes and errors.

It goes without saying that money and friends don’t go hand in hand. Often times, you either lose your friend or your money, sometimes even both. If you absolutely MUST lend your friend the money, here’s some advice:

- Make sure the amount you’re “lending” is within the range that you’re willing to lose.

- Get collateral on your loan. Get something valuable from your friend that’s worth more than the amount you’re lending, so that s/he will actually have an incentive to pay you back.

- Set up a repayment schedule on paper. Have a witness and make sure you’re covered legally. Again having a collateral gives you leverage to compel your friend to pay you back.

- If you’re able to, give the money to your friend as a gift.
Of course in most cases, the best course of action is to say no outright and avoid all the hassle that comes with mixing friendship and money.

No hace falta decir que los amigos y el dinero no van de la mano. Muchas veces, pierdes un amigo, o su dinero, a veces incluso ambos. Si es absolutamente NECESARIO prestarle a su amigo dinero, aquí hay algunos consejos:

- Asegúrese que el dinero que la cantidad que esta “prestando” se encuentra dentro del rango que usted está dispuesto a perder.

- Obtener garantía de su préstamo. Conseguir algo más valioso de su amigo/a que vale más que la cantidad prestada, por lo que en realidad va a tener un incentivo para el reembolso.


- Establecer un calendario de pagos por escrito. Tener un testigo y asegurarse de que usted está cubierto legalmente. De nuevo, con una garantía que le da poder para obligar a su amigo/a que le reembolsé el dinero prestado.

- Si usted es capaz, dar el dinero a su amigo/a como regalo.

Por supuesto, en la mayoría de los casos, el mejor curso de acción es decir nada en absoluto, y evitar todos los problemas que vienen cuando se mezcla el dinero y la amistad.

Money Talk – 10 Tips for Sticking to Your Budget

1. Write down all your expenditures at the end of the day, so you know how much you can still spend without going over your budget. Group your expenditures and review them at the end of each month, and they can give you insights to what you’re spending too much on.
2. Compile a shopping list when grocery shopping. Don’t stray too far from what you actually need.
3. Pack your own lunch to work.
4. In the same vein, visit Starbucks less frequently. A few bucks a day add up to hundreds over the course of a year.
5. Compare prices between stores. The internet also offer more places to make your purchases, and price comparison websites are very helpful in choosing where to buy.
6. Remind yourself your financial goals every day, especially when you’re out shopping, whether it be retiring early, purchasing a 70-inch TV or paying off your credit card debt.
7. Use cash when you can. Studies have found that people tend to spend more when using credit cards.
8. Sleep on your purchases to limit impulse buying. Take a day or two and think about whether you actually need this item.
9. Take advantage of coupons. Many stores, such as Kroger, Publix, and Target, offer hundreds of coupons to shoppers.
10. Water is a cheaper and healthier alternative to soda. Plus, limiting your soft drink intake can save you much more on medical expenses later on.
