you can't take out cash and give it to your children? i'm not saying it's legal, but it's possible.


Anything over $10K must be reported as a general rule via form 8300...

Then I know you are gonna say, well they can just hand the 10K to their heirs and not report it right? Well, where is the $10K CASH going to come from? A bank right? When you withdraw it, the bank has to report it by law. Uncle Sam will find out what you were up to eventually.

Of course you could stockpile your cash slowly to avoid this.

They report that the old lady withdrew it.

As long as the heirs don't deposit it or try to launder it...if they just keep it as cash in their mattress, then I doubt the IRS will be able to catch them.

ETA: But I'm less concerned with the tax ramifications, I'm more interested in finding out what the CC company would do with someone that died with no assets and $15,000 in debt. Probably just write it off. But what if it was $100,000?

And if they ever find out that and determine you were structuring payments to avoid disclosing it, you're fricked in so many ways its not even funny.

ETA: I'm serious, its really not funny, it will wipe you out.

If the heirs have the cash and didn't report it to the IRS, then by definition the money has already been laundered.

Oh I am very aware of this. I wasn't advocating it.

But the old lady in the scenario is dying. She will likely be dead by the time the IRS comes calling.

Right, and the heirs have the money now, and they obtained it illegally so they are fricked now.

The IRS has something called a look-back period which I believe would apply here.

I don't think the heirs have to report it at all. Only the giftor. They fill out a form and if it is over the amount ( thought it was 12k now) then you pay a gift tax. Also, you can gift alot more than 12k. My parents in essence could gift us 48k a year tax free. Each parent can gift to each child.

The money has already taxed. Giftee is not responsible for taxes on it, only the giftor if they are subject to the gift tax.

Different form, different topic. He was talking about the form you fill out if you make a cash transaction over $10,000.

Y'all are mixing stuff up. MikeBRLA was talking about taking the cash out and not reporting it as a gift.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm sure it would be mutually beneficial.
