Now that I know I may need it, I hang onto anything related to taxes, investments, insurance, and employment (including pay stubs). I keep bank/credit card statements and bills for a while, and hang onto my HSA-related receipts for at least a year or two.
But even so, I've got a lot of shit I should shred.
Clark Howard says toss things like utility bills within a few months, but to keep anything tax related forever. You will note that there is no limit on not filing a return or filing a fradulent return, so if the IRS decides 20 years from now you've filed something the IRS thinks is fradulent, you'll need the records. The IRS has also been known to notice 10 years later that you didn't file a return, and it's up to you to prove you did.

That is so cool! We need seventeen movies set on the molten ice planet.

Background check. A company that I used to work for no longer exists. And I guess that I didn't have to produce the return so much as my W-2s, but I tend to keep them together.
Those ACORN videos appear to have really torpedoed them. The senate voted to bar any further federal funding by a vote of 83-7.
But you can get copies of your returns pretty easily by calling the IRS (1-800-829-1040). There just aren't that many situations where you'd need that many years' worth.
