Wait, do you actually keep tax stuff for more than 20 years? Do you have W-2's from before the year 2000? The IRS doesn't even keep your records that long and will only give you copies of returns (which may have W2 attached) up to 10 years old.
My late wife had W2s going back to her first job in 1964. Remember the punch card type paycheck we got from the military back in the day?

The W2s were exactly like that.

Not a very good picture, but I grabbed one off the internet, since I shredded my wife's. And the corners were rounded as well, though I think this picture is a little more rounded than it should be. You get the idea.

Also, a blank W4 form, which my late wife also had (filled in, and blank) from 2 years before she began her first job. Shaped a little differently, but the same dimensions. Now I kind of wish I'd saved a couple for posterity.

That's impressive. I keep my stuff for 7 years, in case of an audit, then get rid of it. I get rid of it on purpose, because if you have it then they can ask for it, but if you got rid of it as allowed then they can go suck eggs if they ask. Not that I would ever be audited, I think maybe 5 years ever did I not take the standard deduction. I would wager that MOST people do not keep records for quite as long as you have.
I used to keep them back to 1972, which is when I started working. It's kind of a feeling of nostalgia. But between me and my late wife, who, as I said in another post, kept her stuff back to 1964, when she started working, it was too much. I shredded all her stuff when she passed, and my stuff going back further than 10 years.

So a guy in NC yesterday (can't recall his name or title) ALSO owns a McD's Franchise. HE awarded Trump the McD's French Fry Certification pin. :jet:

So all those Negative Neds and Nellies can suck it. :killingme
At this point, Trump has spent more time working at Micky D's than Kamalalaladingdong has.

And more time in combat than Tampon Timmy.
