<prompt> Human: I work as a bell man, and the hotel I work at doesnt track our tips. I was wondering if the IRS will do anything if I continue to deposit my tips. I dont want the government to think Im dealing drugs or something. I have roughly 500 in tips in my account right now. Should I just track my tips personally? Also, if shouldnt put them in the bank what should I do with them? I cant really do a whole lot with cash and would generally prefer my money to be on card.  <response>: Legally you are required to do so.Realistically most people dont. The IRS doesnt flag desposits of under 10k source: worked in a lot of bars.
