Paperwork tends to be one of the biggest sources of clutter, both on your desk and in rooms throughout your home. Keeping important documents in good shape and neatly organized is a challenge. While regularly throwing out old receipts and other items may seem like the easiest option, you never know when they will be needed for future use. At US Storage Centers, our Phoenix storage units provide a convenient, cost-effective solution, letting you keep these items safe and protecting you in the process. Keeping Documents In Storage Units In Phoenix There is any number of important documents and pieces of paperwork you need to keep handy, but knowing where to store these items can present major dilemmas. Whether it is old family memorabilia documenting immigration to the country, documents that verify births, or certificates of marriages and other major landmarks, you want a place where these things will be kept secure and safe. Rocket Lawyer advises that keeping documents in your home is generally the least desirable option. In addition to getting lost or thrown out accidentally, they are subject to damage from spills and pests, along with being vulnerable to thieves. With a Phoenix storage unit, our climate-controlled facilities will keep your documents in the best condition possible. You also have the confidence in knowing that while your documents are easily accessible to you when needed, our on-site security system and 24-hour video monitoring help to ensure thieves and vandals are kept off the premises. Customizing Your Phoenix Storage Unit Among the major advantages of our Phoenix storage units is that they come in a variety of sizes to fit any budget and are customizable to suit your needs, such as for filing and storing old tax returns. The Internal Revenue Service has strict guidelines regarding providing proof of taxes paid and refunds issued, and holding onto information could prove crucial in defending you in the event of disputes or an audit. Rather than keeping these items piled up in closets or having them taking up unnecessary space in drawers and cabinets at home, you can keep a separate filing cabinet in your unit that keeps important paperwork together. The IRS recommends keeping employment records, expense sheets, receipts, and past filed returns for a period of at least three years. By dedicating drawer space for each of your previous tax returns, you will be ready with all the appropriate documentation in the event it is required.
