IRS reminds businesses to report large cash transactions; e-file encouraged

Monday, March 01, 2021

 

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today reminds businesses of their responsibility to file Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000,
and encourages e-filing to help them file accurate, complete forms.

Although many cash transactions are legitimate, information reported on Form 8300 can help stop those who evade taxes, profit from drug trading, engage
in terrorist financing and conduct other criminal activities. The government can often trace money from these illegal activities through payments
reported on complete, accurate forms.

To help businesses prepare and file reports, the IRS created a video on How to Complete Form 8300 – Part I,
Part II. The short video points out sections of Form
8300 for which the IRS commonly finds mistakes and explains how to accurately complete those sections.

Also, the IRS encourages businesses to electronically file completed forms. Although they have the option of filing Form 8300 on paper, electronic
filing is more accurate and reduces the need for follow-up correspondence with the IRS.

Many businesses have already found the free and secure e-filing system is a more convenient and cost-effective way to meet the reporting deadline of
15 days after a transaction. They get free, automatic acknowledgment of receipt when they file. And, businesses can batch file their reports, which
is especially helpful to those required to file many forms.

To file Form 8300 electronically, a business must set up an account with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s BSA E-Filing System.
For more information, interested businesses can call the Bank Secrecy Act E-Filing Help Desk at 866-346-9478or email
them at BSAEFilingHelp@fincen.gov. The help desk is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.
to 6 p.m. Eastern time.

For more information about the reporting requirement, see FS-2021-3 available on IRS.gov.
