How long must I keep completed forms?

Retain for at least three years for tax records (IRC §6501(a)); healthcare-related forms must be retained six years under HIPAA (45 CFR §164.530(j)).

What happens if the TIN is missing?

Missing or incorrect TIN can trigger backup withholding at 24% and potential IRC §6721 penalties for incorrect information returns.
