How many years after an account has been closed (i.e. checking, credit
card, brokerage accounts, not accounts like utilities, auto/home
insurance, etc.) are you comfortable throwing out (trash, not recycling)
the statements vs. shredding them? "Comfortable" here is with respect to
identity theft worries, not taxing authority worries.
Finally time to attack some of the attic clutter and among other things
are statements going back to 1987. So the stack of potential
shreddables will be very tall. (I of course will be keeping all tax
returns and will be keeping supporting documentation for the past six
years' returns).
(Though I suppose the best thing is to probably just play it
safe and bring everything to a reputable bulk shredder. Too
bad my town doesn't allow outside burning, though...)
