IRS Urges You To Make A Disaster Plan

(Undated) — The Internal Revenue Service is urging us to plan ahead for an emergency. IRS spokesman Michael Devine says one of the first things to do is to create a disaster plan that can be reviewed over time as your situation changes. Devine says you can go to their website, irs.gov, and find disaster loss workbooks that you can download. He says you need to know where your original documents are, your tax returns, your birth certificates, your marriage certificate, insurance policies, title. He says one of the best ways to do it is to put them in a double-sealed bag, two zip-lock bags, and put them at the bottom of your freezer.
