You can start out with one big "tax" pile or you can separate your piles into piles such as personal, medical, business related, house expenses.... Anything that makes sense to you, depending on how you do your taxes.
By grouping your papers into more manageable piles you will make it easier on your accountant and yourself. And you will be able to tell, at a glance, what papers you might be missing.
Once you have all of your papers in organized groups you can turn it over to your accountant and let him do the hard part.
But don't let this be the end of your paper organizing. Let this be the start. By creating your "organized piles" you have also created your very own file system. Use these piles to make new folders for the upcoming year. When you get any papers that might be related to taxes put them into their proper files and make your next tax year even easier.
By having a system in place you will make your life (and home) a lot less cluttered and a lot less stressful. You will be able to find things easier.
But remember, make a system that works for you. Don't over thing it. Don't make it complicated. Make it "your" system. It doesn't have to be fancy. It just has to work for "you".
Now get going....and get your system in place.
Have a great day !
Less Clutter = Less Stress SM in your home, your business and your life
