Future Developments
For the latest information about
developments related to Form 8300 and
its instructions, such as legislation
enacted after they were published, go to
www.irs.gov/form8300.
Important Reminders
• Section 6050I (26 United States Code
(U.S.C.) 6050I) and 31 U.S.C. 5331
require that certain information be
reported to the IRS and the Financial
Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
This information must be reported on
IRS/FinCEN Form 8300.
• Item 33, box i, is to be checked only by
clerks of the court; box d is to be
checked by bail bondsmen. See Item 33
under Part III, later.
• The meaning of the word “currency”
for purposes of 31 U.S.C. 5331 is the
same as for the word “cash” (See Cash
under Definitions, later).
General Instructions
Who must file. Each person engaged in
a trade or business who, in the course
of that trade or business, receives more
than $10,000 in cash in one transaction
or in two or more related transactions,
must file Form 8300. Any transactions
conducted between a payer (or its
agent) and the recipient in a 24-hour
period are related transactions.
Transactions are considered related
even if they occur over a period of more
than 24 hours if the recipient knows, or
has reason to know, that each
transaction is one of a series of
connected transactions.
Keep a copy of each Form 8300 for 5
years from the date you file it.
Clerks of federal or state courts must
file Form 8300 if more than $10,000 in
cash is received as bail for an
individual(s) charged with certain criminal
offenses. For these purposes, a clerk
includes the clerk’s office or any other
office, department, division, branch, or
unit of the court that is authorized to
receive bail. If a person receives bail on
behalf of a clerk, the clerk is treated as
receiving the bail. See Item 33 under
Part III, later.
If multiple payments are made in cash
to satisfy bail and the initial payment
does not exceed $10,000, the initial
payment and subsequent payments
must be aggregated and the information
return must be filed by the 15th day after
receipt of the payment that causes the
aggregate amount to exceed $10,000 in
cash. In such cases, the reporting
requirement can be satisfied by sending
a single written statement with the
aggregate Form 8300 amounts listed
relating to that payer. Payments made to
satisfy separate bail requirements are
not required to be aggregated. See
Treasury Regulations section 1.6050I-2.
Casinos must file Form 8300 for
nongaming activities (restaurants, shops,
etc.).
Voluntary use of Form 8300. Form
8300 may be filed voluntarily for any
suspicious transaction (see Definitions,
later) for use by FinCEN and the IRS,
even if the total amount does not
exceed $10,000.
Exceptions. Cash is not required to be
reported if it is received:
• By a financial institution required to file
FinCEN Report 112, BSA Currency
Transaction Report (BCTR);
• By a casino required to file (or exempt
from filing) FinCEN Report 112, if the
cash is received as part of its gaming
business;
• By an agent who receives the cash
from a principal, if the agent uses all of
the cash within 15 days in a second
transaction that is reportable on Form
8300 or on FinCEN Report 112, and
discloses all the information necessary
to complete Part II of Form 8300 or
FinCEN Report 112 to the recipient of
the cash in the second transaction;
• In a transaction occurring entirely
outside the United States. See
Publication 1544, Reporting Cash
Payments of Over $10,000 (Received in
a Trade or Business), regarding
transactions occurring in Puerto Rico
and territories and possessions of the
United States; or
• In a transaction that is not in the
course of a person’s trade or business.
When to file. File Form 8300 by the
15th day after the date the cash was
received. If that date falls on a Saturday,
Sunday, or legal holiday, file the form on
the next business day.
Where to file. File the form with the
Internal Revenue Service, Detroit
Computing Center, P.O. Box 32621,
Detroit, Ml 48232.
TIP
You may be able to
electronically file Form 8300
using FinCEN's Bank Secrecy
Act (BSA) Electronic Filing
(E-Filing) System as an alternative
method to filing a paper Form 8300. To
get more information, visit the BSA
E-Filing System, at
http://bsaefiling.fincen.treas.gov/
main.html.
Statement to be provided. You must
give a written or electronic statement to
each person named on a required Form
8300 on or before January 31 of the year
following the calendar year in which the
cash is received. The statement must
show the name, telephone number, and
address of the information contact for
the business, the aggregate amount of
reportable cash received, and that the
information was furnished to the IRS.
Keep a copy of the statement for your
records.
Multiple payments. If you receive more
than one cash payment for a single
transaction or for related transactions,
you must report the multiple payments
any time you receive a total amount that
exceeds $10,000 within any 12-month
period. Submit the report within 15 days
of the date you receive the payment that
causes the total amount to exceed
$10,000. If more than one report is
required within 15 days, you may file a
combined report. File the combined
report no later than the date the earliest
report, if filed separately, would have to
be filed.
Taxpayer identification number (TIN).
You must furnish the correct TIN of the
person or persons from whom you
receive the cash and, if applicable, the
person or persons on whose behalf the
transaction is being conducted. You may
be subject to penalties for an incorrect
or missing TIN.
The TIN for an individual (including a
sole proprietorship) is the individual’s
social security number (SSN). For certain
resident aliens who are not eligible to get
an SSN and nonresident aliens who are
required to file tax returns, it is an IRS
Individual Taxpayer Identification
Number (ITIN). For other persons,
including corporations, partnerships, and
estates, it is the employer identification
number (EIN).
If you have requested but are not able
to get a TIN for one or more of the
parties to a transaction within 15 days
following the transaction, file the report
and use the comments section on page
2 of the form to explain why the TIN is
not included.
Exception. You are not required to
provide the TIN of a person who is a
nonresident alien individual or a foreign
organization if that person or foreign
organization:
• Does not have income effectively
connected with the conduct of a U.S.
trade or business;
• Does not have an office or place of
business, or a fiscal or paying agent in
the U.S.;
• Does not furnish a withholding
certificate described in §1.1441-1(e)(2) or
(3) or §1.1441-5(c)(2)(iv) or (3)(iii) to the
extent required under §1.1441-1(e)(4)(vii);
or
• Does not have to furnish a TIN on any
return, statement, or other document as
required by the income tax regulations
under section 897 or 1445.
IRS Form 8300 (Rev. 8-2014)

FinCEN Form 8300 (Rev. 8-2014)
Penalties. You may be subject to
penalties if you fail to file a correct and
complete Form 8300 on time and you
cannot show that the failure was due to
reasonable cause. You may also be
subject to penalties if you fail to furnish
timely a correct and complete statement
to each person named in a required
report. A minimum penalty of $25,000
may be imposed if the failure is due to
an intentional or willful disregard of the
cash reporting requirements.
Penalties may also be imposed for
causing, or attempting to cause, a trade
or business to fail to file a required
report; for causing, or attempting to
cause, a trade or business to file a
required report containing a material
omission or misstatement of fact; or for
structuring, or attempting to structure,
transactions to avoid the reporting
requirements. These violations may also
be subject to criminal prosecution which,
upon conviction, may result in
imprisonment of up to 5 years or fines of
up to $250,000 for individuals and
$500,000 for corporations or both.
Definitions
Cash. The term “cash” means the
following.
• U.S. and foreign coin and currency
received in any transaction; or
• A cashier’s check, money order, bank
draft, or traveler’s check having a face
amount of $10,000 or less that is
received in a designated reporting
transaction (defined below), or that is
received in any transaction in which the
recipient knows that the instrument is
being used in an attempt to avoid the
reporting of the transaction under either
section 6050I or 31 U.S.C. 5331.
Note. Cash does not include a check
drawn on the payer’s own account, such
as a personal check, regardless of the
amount.
Designated reporting transaction. A
retail sale (or the receipt of funds by a
broker or other intermediary in
connection with a retail sale) of a
consumer durable, a collectible, or a
travel or entertainment activity.
Retail sale. Any sale (whether or not
the sale is for resale or for any other
purpose) made in the course of a trade
or business if that trade or business
principally consists of making sales to
ultimate consumers.
Consumer durable. An item of
tangible personal property of a type
that, under ordinary usage, can
reasonably be expected to remain useful
for at least 1 year, and that has a sales
price of more than $10,000.
Collectible. Any work of art, rug,
antique, metal, gem, stamp, coin, etc.
Travel or entertainment activity. An
item of travel or entertainment that
pertains to a single trip or event if the
combined sales price of the item and all
other items relating to the same trip or
event that are sold in the same
transaction (or related transactions)
exceeds $10,000.
Exceptions. A cashier’s check, money
order, bank draft, or traveler’s check is
not considered received in a designated
reporting transaction if it constitutes the
proceeds of a bank loan or if it is
received as a payment on certain
promissory notes, installment sales
contracts, or down payment plans. See
Publication 1544 for more information.
Person. An individual, corporation,
partnership, trust, estate, association, or
company.
Recipient. The person receiving the
cash. Each branch or other unit of a
person’s trade or business is considered
a separate recipient unless the branch
receiving the cash (or a central office
linking the branches), knows or has
reason to know the identity of payers
making cash payments to other
branches.
Transaction. Includes the purchase of
property or services, the payment of
debt, the exchange of cash for a
negotiable instrument, and the receipt of
cash to be held in escrow or trust. A
single transaction may not be broken
into multiple transactions to avoid
reporting.
Suspicious transaction. A suspicious
transaction is a transaction in which it
appears that a person is attempting to
cause Form 8300 not to be filed, or to
file a false or incomplete form.

Privacy Act and Paperwork Reduction
Act Notice. Except as otherwise noted,
the information solicited on this form is
required by the IRS and FinCEN in order
to carry out the laws and regulations of
the United States. Trades or businesses
and clerks of federal and state criminal
courts are required to provide the
information to the IRS and FinCEN under
section 6050I and 31 U.S.C. 5331,
respectively. Section 6109 and 31 U.S.C.
5331 require that you provide your
identification number. The principal
purpose for collecting the information on
this form is to maintain reports or
records which have a high degree of
usefulness in criminal, tax, or regulatory
investigations or proceedings, or in the
conduct of intelligence or
counter-intelligence activities, by
directing the federal government’s
attention to unusual or questionable
transactions.
You are not required to provide
information as to whether the reported
transaction is deemed suspicious.
Failure to provide all other requested
information, or providing fraudulent
information, may result in criminal
prosecution and other penalties under
26 U.S.C. and 31 U.S.C.
Generally, tax returns and return
information are confidential, as stated in
section 6103. However, section 6103
allows or requires the IRS to disclose or
give the information requested on this
form to others as described in the
Internal Revenue Code. For example, we
may disclose your tax information to the
Department of Justice, to enforce the tax
laws, both civil and criminal, and to
cities, states, the District of Columbia,
and U.S. commonwealths and
possessions, to carry out their tax laws.
We may disclose this information to
other persons as necessary to obtain
information which we cannot get in any
other way. We may disclose this
information to federal, state, and local
child support agencies; and to other
federal agencies for the purposes of
determining entitlement for benefits or
the eligibility for and the repayment of
loans. We may also provide the records
to appropriate state, local, and foreign
criminal law enforcement and regulatory
personnel in the performance of their
official duties. We may also disclose this
information to other countries under a
tax treaty, or to federal and state
agencies to enforce federal nontax
criminal laws and to combat terrorism. In
addition, FinCEN may provide the
information to those officials if they are
conducting intelligence or
counter-intelligence activities to protect
against international terrorism.
You are not required to provide the
information requested on a form that is
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
unless the form displays a valid OMB
control number. Books or records
relating to a form or its instructions must
be retained as long as their contents
may become material in the
administration of any law under 26
U.S.C. or 31 U.S.C.
The time needed to complete this
form will vary depending on individual
circumstances. The estimated average
time is 21 minutes. If you have
comments concerning the accuracy of
