Has anyone heard of this yet?
Can they be looking for welfare, medicaid, etc. cheats?Reporting $600.00 dollars and above seems foolish in today’s world.
You can put it in MY bank account if you like..I promise it'll be safe..I shredded mine this past week, or I would have copied & pasted it here. I called the bank first to make sure it was legit. They said it was. So anyone in the USA better be very careful. I might just have to put my retirement in a bank of shore or in another country.

When hub was big on playing blackjack in Vegas (he plays in poker tournaments now), he used to move from the table, even if he was "hot" if he had made almost $10 grand. He knew the cameras were tracking him for the IRS. Time to change casinos.Bank of America already tracks the cash flow in my checking account. Each month they provide me with worthless statistics about how much comes in compared to how much goes out. Who I pay automatically, etc...
We also have mandatory reporting on cash deposits over $10,000.00.
Reporting $600.00 dollars and above seems foolish in today’s world.
Even if the intentions of the program are good the bad guys will quickly adjust their behavior to the new rules.
I got one in my only winning trip to Vegas, got a $2,000 slot machine jackpot. Kind of spoiled some of the fun. I am sure I have lost more in Vegas than won, but don't keep track of it.I used to prepare taxes for people in the AARP tax program, and have seen these W-2G's from casinos.
That just looks very suspicious to me. I would not pay any attention to it at all, except to consider calling the bank and alerting them that this nonsense is out there.
I have a SUPR DUPER way. Go buy some plastic gallon containers. Get out the backhoe, & put all your money in different locations or under trees. Now as you age you will be like young kids at easter hunting easter eggs but it will be $$This has finally made the news on some channels and websites. It is in the many trillion dollar plan that is trying to get approved in DC. Janet Yellen approves and wants this $600.00 limit enacted. Hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to do a "deep dive" into everyone's bank accounts.
Putting money in foreign bank accounts won't help as they have to report your activity to the IRS. Unless, of course you have some super duper way of hiding things with connections the ordinary person does not possess.
The government has been intruding on our bank accounts for a long time! If you move more than $9,999 it has to be reported to them. If you don't take enough money out of your traditional IRA, they penalize you for it. In fact, they tell you when you have to start taking that money out. They say you can't leave cash in your safety deposit box. That being said...it's seems like if they are going to try to keep up with everybody's money movement of a mere $601, it will be a waste of time and manpower.Haven't been watching the news lately but a friend of mine called me and was terribly upset that the Government is now intruding on our bank accounts.
