I have a filing cabinet with hanging file folders dealing with different topics. Whenever possible I put related items into those two-hole legal folders as well. So, for example, all of my previous tax filings have their own folder and are in a larger taxes folder. Ditto for documents that involve multiple pages on the same thing (like my mortgage).

I scan everything and keep it on disc (these are sent to my father in case of fire), a couple of back up drives and online. Other stuff went into a file in my desk. I stopped taking care of most of that stuff and now there's piles of paper everywhere. I was about to pick up a file cabinet at the thrift store, but I'll just start scanning again.

I scan some. And I bought a small fire safe for my most important papers (Soc Sec, passport, research papers).

I have four plastic file boxes with hanging folders of files organized by topic or entity. these may or may not correspond to folders on the PC with digital backups or supplemental docs depending on how important I think it is. taxes are a pile of portfolio folders my tax prep people send me each year. they share a box with 5 years worth of receipts I've never managed to go through. fire safe this system is not. but it works for me. ish.
