It is my understanding that banks are required to provide notice to the IRS of substantial deposits.
Does anyone know what that amount might be? Does it apply to people or just accounts? In other words, same person but multiple accounts an issue? Does it apply to single deposits, multiple deposits, or deposits within a certain time frame? I won't get into details, but it's a large sum that is ultimately not in my possession but for a few weeks. |

It is some what murky––-any deposit of 10K OR a series of deposits going over that amount.
If you got the money legally just deposit it. Trying to get around it raises more flags than say a lump sum from a bonus or a settlement. It will also look suspicious to other folks like say a jury. JMHO YMMV |
|
Structuring a bunch of smaller deposits to go under the 10k wire will also get you caught. If you're asking these kinds of questions on the internet you should probably think long and hard about whatever you're involved in.

If the funds are just going to be in your possession for a few weeks I wouldn't bank it.
Just get a $20 fireproof safe and hide it in your basement. |

A safety deposit box is your best bet.
You're not making interest on your $$$ anyway. Or go w/gold and put that in the safety deposit box. |

Yep, and they have software that sits and analyzes this stuff all day long looking for someone who is structuring deposits. |

The *IRS* doesn't notice bank deposits. They can gain access to bank records, if they choose.
Most of the other statements people are making in this thread have nothing to do with the IRS. |

WINNER WINNER. These suspicious activities get reported to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), not the IRS. FinCEN |

Might I recommend asking your bank teller what amount you can deposit before he or she has to report it. Oh wait, that will trigger them having to file a report for asking said question.
Don't get busted for structuring, from what I understand that can get you in way more trouble than just depositing everything at once. |
|
Just keep your drug money in cash to save the trouble. Most dealers don't take debit cards or check... anymore.

Quoted: It is my understanding that banks are required to provide notice to the IRS of substantial deposits. Does anyone know what that amount might be? The official number is 10k, however any bank that suspects you of attempting to hide money from the IRS is obligated to report it regardless of the amount. Does it apply to people or just accounts? In other words, same person but multiple accounts an issue? Does it apply to single deposits, multiple deposits, or deposits within a certain time frame? Following the above 2 questions through is a federal felony, 'Structuring'. See Eliot Spitzer. You are asking for advice on how to commit a crime (hide money from the IRS), which is a violation of the ARFCOM CoC IBTL! |

Open a few accounts in banks all over town, a few as DBA's or LLC's (you can incorporate in DE I think really cheaply). Deposit said monies into various accounts in amounts of less than $800. Write checks to yourself from the DBA's, LLC's, and yourself and start running them around town until you eventually get it transfered into one or two accounts in different banks. Make it look like you write checks to the 'businesses' and they write you checks. All the while you are depositing non-sequential amounts. Get some business-looking deposit slips too. Do this 3 times a week in different banks, using a different pattern.
There you go, money-laundering 101. And I just came up with that, no book learning or criminal experience. Now, what do you need this info for? (and now I wait for the people who tell me that wouldn't work...) |

Anytime I withdraw or deposit more than 10k, Integra Bank checks a folder maintained behind the counter to insure they have a up to date photo ID of me. Not sure if they report it or not but it makes me feel dirty everytime they drag it out and give me the once over.

i know of a few professional gablers that have been nailed for structuring. keeping it cash is the way to go.. or an account in the caymans if its big enough
|

post patrioit act "suspisious activity" is all it takes, BUT if you deposit say 1500 every 1st and 15th you are ok. OR if oyu do it every friday you are ok. BUT if you have huge sums of cash convert them to metals(silver and gold) and you have an asset that will be VERY hard to trace, very hard to tax as a result AND NO paper trail other than every other week you go to the assayers place and buy an ounce of gold and 50 ounces of silver or more. . jjust dont throw money around all at once, little at a time.
you can also sent to fellow arfcommers .... PM if you need my address... |

For a short time, keep the cash at home. Take photos of it, stacked up and then spread it around, like that one photo of someone swimming in pmags. Be like Scrooge McDuck and swim in it and any photos my include a FU Arock sign, or written on the cash if you dare, your toes must be in it and pics of wife. Have her wear it as a bikini....

Deposit a thousand here, a thousand there. Or buy precious metals. Screw the .gov busybodies and the SOBs who support them (you know who you are).

Cashiers checks.
Thats what I take for rent, and then I just deposit them. |
|
Postal money orders - you can get them up to $1k each.
They don't check ID when you buy them. You can use them to pay bills or cash them back in at the post office. |

Alright...looks like I'll just deposit the whole amount. Here's the deal. I'm collecting down payments and final payments for an overseas workshop/trip for my students. All the checks have been made out to me. Many of our expenses, such as airfare will have receipts, but many others will not. Thus, it makes it very difficult to show that I am not earning a profit on this trip.

Invest the money in ammo and gold bars.
Sell when cash is needed. Repeat. |

Just bury the cash in your back yard. Why deposit legal tender?

Has the IRS obtained the i.p. numbers of the people posting on this thread yet?

There are no "rules" on this anymore. If there were, you could get around them.
"Structuring" to hide money (as someone pointed out) is _illegal_ and will get you in boucoup trouble. Just deposit it and fill out the fucking sheet already. Or keep it in cash. Better yet, get a safe deposit box for your "vintage teapot" and forget to take the cash out of the teapot. Also note, for almost 15 years, bankers have been learning how to troll their own records to find this stuff. They get rewarded for it, they take classes for spotting how to do it (I did the IT work on the Michigan Bankers Association online class on the subject in 1998.), if you need to move a lot of money in a legit way, use a bank a legit way. If you are just being a paranoid douche, then keep it as cash. The IRS is the LEAST of your worries, you got the DOJ, DEA and other letter agencies with more teeth first in line anyway. Personal attack removed. ~ JW777 |

Ditto the seperate account deal. Open it up just for this specific purpose, it will keep it very clean and tidy in the event of an audit (or questions from admin or parents)

The IRS should just use the following for collection purposes...
