Thank you! That is really helpful. Are scanned pdf's of receipts (for home office deductions for ex), pdfs of paystubs, OK? I know I've been asked to submit actual receipts for reimbursement at work, for example, and wondered if there was something wrong with just keeping electronic copies of receipts rather than cluttering up my file cabinet. Thanks!

I would say that if you're required to submit your original receipts to your employer, then scanned copies would be fine.

But anything that you get reimbursed for work wouldn't show up on your tax return anyhow, right?
