Hello Esther,

Yes, you should save your receipts for a minimum of three tax years, but, preferably six. The IRS would need to see receipts in an audit and will disallow deductions if you do not have receipts. A good way to keep them is to scan them and keep the electronic copy. This is acceptable to the IRS.
