Gary's response brings up a very good point concerning the
establishment of retention periods ie make sure the regulation you are
citing/using applies to your business. Be sure to read the entire
regulation not just the subsection that provides records retention or
recordkeeping requirements. BUT I would include such information in my
analysis.

> I found a table of Periods of Limitations on the IRS's web site at www.irs.ustreas.gov/prod/forms_pubs/graphics/15150b21.gif. The last two items on the table have the longet period of limitations, seven years. So I use that as my source.


I'm getting an error message for that particular link, is there a
different url that can be used.
