How long to keep W-2 G's

Simple question. I'd love to weed out old tax paperwork.

Although I sent a "quick" reply with an IRS link, I decided to add a couple more after doing a GOOGLE search of the words: "how long to keep tax records".

As a volunteer tax preparer, I'd also like to add the comment (as I ofter do during tax season) that the question may be simple, but the answers rarely are:

I like the chart in this link - which I've made into a tinyurl
(http://tinyurl.com/y8st8q2)
'cuz it provides a good visual breakdown.

And I like this one (http://www.axtax.com/keep_tax_records.htm)
'cuz the second bulleted paragraph specifically answers your question about your W2Gs.

You could also do your own GOOGLE search of those (or similar) words and you'll find lots more.
