<prompt> Human: Hi guys. I currently am splitting a house with 3 other people for around 3k a month utilities. Ive known these guys for years and its working out great. Currently, everyone pays their rent and share of utilities to me and I forward it as one big payment to the proper companies each month. I recently heard from a coworker that what Im doing might be a bad idea as far as the IRS is concerned and they might flag me as being suspicious for money laundering. Is there any cause for concern or does me having the proper documentationroommate agreements in place work if the IRS comes knocking? Thanks for any info you can provide!  <response>: IRS isnt going to go after you for paying rent and utilities.
