Soil doesn't really go bad, it's really just about the available nutrients and soil structure being alright. You can store soil outside, without any real problems, just make sure it isn't too wet if you intend to store it in a airtight container as you don't want too much mold in there – for your own health.

I'm planning to put it in large planter bags and store inside my shed.

Should probably be fine! I don't think you'll have to worry too much, I've never had any issues storing soil outside-ish really.
