<prompt> Human: So basically I thought there was way less. I thought over 10,000, but under 50,000. I hadnt filed my taxes for years, so I was afraid of depositing the money and having them think it was new income. And I had plenty of money in the bank. So I didnt need the money from my safe.Fast forward 10 years, Im running low on savings, and I need to go into the safe to see whats there. Surprised to find nearly 140,000 in cash.TAXES:I had a small business for four years, it was profitable, I had been remitting my payroll tax and HST, but never properly filed my taxes each year. Now I need to file my personal taxes, and in order to file everything and be above board, Im going back to my small business and filing everything, business and personal, for the last 10 years.No lying, no deception, being honest to the penny with everything. And I still have all my transaction data and hard copy invoices and bank statements and receipts to prove everything.Long story short, this 140,000 will have been claimed as income for the respective years in those tax returns. So its already reflected in my income statements and personal income and in the system, so to speak, from the tax returns Im about to file.But what do I do with it, now? I have 140,000 in cash. In my hand. I cant deposit more than 10,000 in Canada without it raising a flag with the CRA. So what else can I do with it?Can I go into my bank and just invest it directly? Into a GIC or mutual fund or something? Without it raising flags with the CRA?And yes, I know how much money Ive lost over the years by not having invested this. Basically, if I had invested the 250,000 I had in cash 10 years ago, at a 7 annual return, I would have close to 500,000 today assuming I didnt draw down from it. Fully aware. Done the math. Feel stupid about it, but, you now, there are worse situations to be in. I still have 140,000 in cash, after all.So, what are my best options?Assistant: I cant deposit more than 10,000 in Canada without it raising a flag with the CRA.If the funds are legitimate, what red flags are you worried about? Human: Why go through the hassle of getting the CRAs attention? And having to prove this isnt new income?  <response>: in the united states, structuring transactions to avoid regulatory scrutiny is itself a crime. it wouldnt surprise me at all if canada has the same kind of law.
