my daughter takes 1000 dollars out of the savings account for the mortgage and pays cash. Will they think she’s buying drugs or something.

If the IRS can get all this information we don’t need to do our taxes anymore. The IRS can do them for us.

LOL, from now on I’ll be making only $599.00 payments max. So what if I have to write 4 checks to make a 2k payment. It’s going to be fun! Next they’ll be checking to whom the payments are made....

Funny how the left was all exited about seeing Trump’s taxes. Now they have no privacy! ha ha ha

In a totalitarian state, there is no such thing as innocent behavior.

This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. I tried calling the IRS yesterday, my call ended with: due to short staff and high call volume we cannot take your call. Please try us again on the next business day.

I think their plates are already over-full.

Deliberately making deposits/transactions under threshold limits to dodge mandated reports is already illegal. It's called structuring.

Neither Biteme nor the IRS will go there. Democrats will never approve this. The blow-back would be biblical. Plus, the lawsuits would number into the hundreds. It's the same reason why the dem/socs/commies have only talked about confiscating retirement accounts over certain amounts. They change tax laws, but they will never just outright confiscate.

Legislators often exclude themselves from legislation, and have some immunity regarding lawsuits. The massive leaks would destroy many careers. They and non-elected bureaucracies can tell us to wear masks or mandate other liberty killing policies, but they know better than to go after our savings.

If such legislation ever passed through House committee and voted positive on the floor and then the Senate agreed, think of all the billions being transferred to offshore accounts. Hell, I would buy stock in any public offshore bank in the Caymans or elsewhere.

They could try to stop so much money leaving, but I doubt successful. Yes, they track any transfer of $10,000 or more, but it's not illegal.

"Yellen told Lummis that she believes the senator is misunderstanding the proposal, as it requires banks to hand over the IRS data on aggregate inflows and outflows of an account for transactions over $600, rather than details on each individual transaction."

What the hell is the difference, Yellen? If the IRS has the amount from an account, they have the account owners' info. She can't be that obtuse, so she just spins. She must know that the IRS already tracks any transactions of $10,000 and more. They supposedly due that to bust drug rings. If they didn't have the account holders names, then what would be the purpose?

Another fauking totalitarian Biteme's people put in place.

Get paid by paper check.
Take the check to the issuing bank and cash it.

Sell some of a collection, have a garage sale, open a veggie stand, donate to church, go on a vacation, have surgery, donate to a politician...

They find out WAY too much by looking at bank accounts. NONE of it is their d@mn business.

Good tagline material, that.

Get paid by paper check. Take the check to the issuing bank and cash it.

The issuing bank won’t cash it unless you have an account with them. They’ll tell you to go away and deposit it in your own bank account. Your own bank will hold it for at least 3 business days before you have access. Wire transfers can credit in the same day if you’re in a hurry, but every conceivably interested federal agency has total visibility into wire transfers, no warrant required.
