The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) at 26
U.S.C. 5121 requires wholesale liquor dealers to keep daily records
of receipt and disposition of distilled spirits, and a record of
all wine and beer the dealer receives. Records of receipt and
disposition describe the activities of wholesale dealers and
provide an audit trail from point or production to point of sale
for these taxable commodities. TTB requires the monthly summary
report only in exceptional circumstances to ensure that a
particular wholesale dealer is maintaining the required records.
The record retention requirement is 3 years.
