How much cash get your banker to start asking questions, is it $10,000? If you were to walk in with say, $7,000 to deposit would your banker just smile and deposit the cash or would they want to know a few things. Sorry if this has been asked before.
cash deposits of 10k have to be reported to the IRS, who may ask questions. If you have a good reason, no problem even if they ask
same thing for cash purchases
wire transfers have a different standard, no fixed dollar amount that I'm aware of. The bank has to report it if they think it's suspicious behavior, or something like that.
