I love the above method but..... my scanner will scan 59 pages per minute but they have to be 8 1/2" or less wide so I make a copy and then scan that. It is still better than keeping boxes of client data.  I have every piece of data for one client (1040, 1120,1120-S, and a 1065 with 32 Partners) going back to 1984 and I wonder why I am running out of room!
