The annual statement will indicate that the 8300 form, including your cash transactions, was reported to the IRS. This does not necessarily mean that you will be audited by the IRS. But it does mean that your name and taxpayer identification number is on the government radar for possible illegal activities.

If you or your business receives a payment of $10,000 in cash (or more), the total amount must be included and you are required to file. Form 8300 must be filed for each separate transaction that exceeds the $10,000 in cash limit. However, only the recipient of the funds is required to file a Form 8300 with the IRS.

A person must also file Form 8300 if the person receives two or more related payments totaling over $10,000, even if no payment, standing alone, exceeds $10,000. A written statement must also be provided to each person identified on Form 8300 by January 31 of the following calendar year.

Introduction. The law requires trades and businesses report cash payments of more than $10,000 to the federal government by filing IRS/FinCEN Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or BusinessPDF.

Those who prefer to mail Form 8300 can send it to Internal Revenue Service, Detroit Federal Building, P.O. Box 32621, Detroit, MI 48232. Filers can confirm the IRS received the form by sending it via certified mail with return receipt requested or by calling the IRS Bank Secrecy Act Helpline in Detroit at 866-270-0733.

If the person receives multiple payments toward a single transaction or two or more related transactions, and the total amount paid exceeds $10,000, the person should file Form 8300. Each time payments add up to more than $10,000, the person must file another Form 8300.
