The Internal Revenue Code at 26 U.S.C.
5122 requires retail liquor dealers to keep records of all alcohol
beverages received and to keep records of the disposition of
alcohol beverages as may be prescribed by regulation. The TTB
regulations at 27 CFR 31.181 require retail dealers to keep receipt
invoices (or a separate record book) of all alcohol beverages
received and to keep records of any sales of alcohol beverages of
over 20 wine gallons to the same person at the same time. Under 27
CFR 31.191, these records must be maintained for at least three
years. The information contained in these retail dealer records
fulfills the statutory requirement.
