Transfer of Large Amounts of Funds?

[Chevy454]

Also, someone told me they dropped the *report* limit from $10k to $5k recently...any truth to that?

Define 'recently'. The $10k limit was still in effect in February.

I read that any deposits made into a Bank account of 5K or more are quitely reported to the Federal Government with in seconds.This just became affective a few days ago.
They are looking for possible terrosit activity they say is why.Don't even think about buying 100 cell phones,(Triggers),all at once either..

The $5K limit is obviously new and may change my plans.

In the past, I have written checks (up to $9,900) to friends to deposit in their accounts and get me the cash. This has always worked for me with no repercussions. Deposits can be done in reverse, giving a friend the cash and having them write you a check. Make sure you can trust this "friend". Most everything I do is cash. Did one wire transfer due to time constraints and deal went off without a hitch...and I haven't heard from the Feds (yet).

I think times are changing and large deposits/withdrawls are attracting a lot of attention. Tax evasion is a serious charge (at least it is up here in Canada) and getting caught at the border can get your car confiscated and not returned! I wire transfer funds and pay full tax when I register the car, it's just not worth it for me to take a chance for a few thousand dollars. And yes, I also claimed the profits that I made last year on my tax return - again, it's not worth taking the chance. If you ever get audited, and it's just a matter of time if you make a decent living, how are you going to explain that 6 figure deposit make to your bank account??? Car profits are taxed at capital gains rates minus expenses etc. so it really isn't that bad if you keep good records. Cash used to be the way to go, but we weren't talking about 6 figure cars back then
