the banks are required to report anything they "feel" is "suspicious" (SAR)
if you put 10k in CASH (not checks) over any 30 day period, they MUST report that. (CRT)
be carefull, even if they money is legit and you've paid taxes on it, if you try to spread out those cash deposits over time you can be charged with structuring.
Title 31 of the
United States Code, section 5324, provides (in part):
No person shall, for the purpose of evading the reporting requirements of section 5313 (a) or 5325 or any regulation prescribed under any such section, the reporting or record keeping requirements imposed by any order issued under section 5326, or the record keeping requirements imposed by any regulation prescribed under section 21 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act or section 123 of Public Law 91–508— [...] (3) structure or assist in structuring, or attempt to structure or assist in structuring, any transaction with one or more domestic financial institutions.
Section 5324 further provides that a violation of this provision may be punished by a fine or up to five years in prison, or both.<SUP id=cite_ref-3 class=reference>

So to answer the OP question: if it's 10k in CASH, YES the bank is gonna file a CRT on that transaction. If it's a CHECK they MIGHT file a SAR on the transaction if they think somethings up.</SUP>

by law the bank can not tell you if they have ever filed a SAR on you. just like an undercover cop is not gonna tell you he is a cop if you ask.</SUP>

these reports the banks file are all "cover my ass" reports anyway. 10's of 1000's of them are filed all the time. Unless you're the target of some investigation I wouldn't worry. It's not like there is some guy in the IRS or FBI reviewing the things as they come in.</SUP>
