non interest bearing checking accounts, no matter the balance it is never reported to the IRS. safe deposit boxes work well if you are on good terms with someone at a "smalltown" type bank. contribute to a 401 or other retirement account monthy, in the event of your untimely demise your family will have something to remember you by.

very good point. No matter what the interest rate keep that money in a non-interest checking acct.Most rates arent that good anyways so its not worth the risk.

the risk would be having to claim that interest-bearing checking account on your taxes.I have never had to claim that acct. on my taxes because i dont recieve any interest on that acct.

you mean you could have 100 grand in your checking account and nobody would know about it?

better still you can have multiple checking accounts. as mentioned before the retirement account is also very safe in protecting money...don't beleive me, ask OJ Simpson.

Ok

So you would put your money in ANOTHER account(say a money market/savings at another bank) that is seperate from your checking accout??...........by doing this it would not be related to your checking account and earn 5%+ interest as compared to a much lower interest that you would get with your checking account.

guys this is a great question...so are your saying that all your neteller or citadel echeck transactions would not be reported/noticed either if they go directly to a non inerest bearing checking account? i have been using a neteller card and keeping my cash in a safety deposit box. i have been trying to limit the number of transactions to my checking account due to thinking someone would see the transactions eventually. and i do pay my taxes with my job....not with my offshore action
i have transfered a good mid 5 figures some into my checking account from neteller and echecks from my offshores in the past 6 months....

wish I could answer that Fish. I dont have enough to have more than 1 acct.Just 2 checking accts.....none of which recieve any interest. I have never recived a statement on those accts. telling me to keep for my taxes at the end of the year.Hope this helps.

any interest bearing acct, regardless of activity and balance that recieved "interest income" will be reported to the IRS, i'm assuming this is whom you want to keep out of the loop.

ps- by the way, if you want to stash cash away at home, I've heard through the grapevine that burying it at the bottom of an aquarium is a good place..............which certainly seems better than under the mattress.

PAY YOUR TAXES........IN THE END ONE WILL BE MUCH BETTER OFF, as one will be able to invest their money instead of "hiding" it.

The power of compounding is huge.
