<prompt> Human: Hi! I posted this on another sub but was told my question would fit this place better! My question is, lets say I make about 3 grand or so every month at my everyday normal job and deposit most of it into my bank account. Than all of a sudden I start depositing 20grand every month. Do banks care about how much you are depositing and are the banks and government allowed to look into it if they think its suspicious? Maybe even take it away and potentially have the possibility of me losing my money? Do I have to tell them where that money is coming from? Not that Im breaking the law, selling drugs and weapons or anything lol. Regardless of how you earned and save your money, are banks really a safe place to store your money in?  <response>: If you are depositing cash, the bank will report deposits of more than 10,000 to the government. But thats not a problem. Its only a problem if you try to deposit in smaller units in the hope of avoiding that reporting, since that looks suspicious and can be illegal in fact.Nothing will happen as a result of reporting it, i.e. the banks dont care, and the IRS isnt notified.There are relatively few ways where you could legally get 20,000 in cash every month, but perhaps you have one of those going on.
