2021 Tax Documents to Hold On to After Taxes Are Filed

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) advises that tax filers should hold on to any records that will validate any itemized tax deductions or tax credits that are claimed on a 2021 tax return. If the documents—either in paper or digital form—will be used to establish any tax claims for last year, then keep them for several years after filing taxes this year. Details on how long to hold on to filing documents vary, as the IRS is particular about the time limitations for managing different types of records.

Keep Your Computer’s Data Secure, Even When Getting Rid of the Computer

Many of us are pretty dependent on our personal computers (PC) to assist in managing our lives, and that means we tend to store a wide range of personal information—our data—on them. From family photos and videos, music collections, medical and legal documents, to our resumes and examples of our work, the digital record of our lives tends to accumulate on our computer's memory drives, and probably grows larger over time. This information is valuable to us, and, potentially, could be valuable to a hacker, especially any financial and legal documents or financial account information. Information that is valuable should be protected from loss or theft, and it is well worth investing time (and maybe money) to safeguard your private data.

The scammers try to convince their innocent targets to pay them to eliminate a virus, malware, or other issue supposedly harming the victim’s computer before it can cause further damage and put their email, social media, healthcare, financial or other accounts in jeopardy of being hijacked.
