Message:: [QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2233396, member: 26302"]Quite a few and yes. I am not an IRS worker, but I was on a US Treasury panel that worked with the IRS. I have many friends over there, some are coin collectors. I am not saying that to say I would ever "turn anyone in". I am just relaying why I know some about their systems. Yes, getting cash and keeping your mouth shut would help, but they have access to your bank records, your credit card records, and many other records. Let me ask you, don't you think they might find it suspicious if a person takes $1000 out of their bank every month for a few years in a row to pay bills, and then suddenly does not take out any money for a few months? Its little slip ups like that they tie together. The IRS has spent DECADES imputting income from people who professionally hide cash, like gamblers and servers, (no offense to anyone in those professions, just two I could think of who can have variable non-reported cash). Entire departments have spent their entire career developing ways to catch them. So again, a few hundred is not going to likely be caught or cared about really, but large amounts can possibly be traced. Is it worth your freedom? Not paying taxes peeves them off, not REPORTING income and actively trying to hide it is when the US Attorney and criminal charges appear.[/QUOTE]
