Instructions for Form 8300  
(Rev. December 2023)  
Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business  
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code  
unless otherwise noted.  
information returns, including any Forms 8300 during  
2024.  
Example 2. If you file three Forms 1099-MISC and four  
Forms 1099-DIV in 2024, you would not have met the  
10-return threshold and you are not required to  
electronically file information returns, including Form 8300  
during 2024.  
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.  
Members of a consolidated group. If the person  
required to file Form 8300 is a member of a consolidated  
group, then information specific to that member  
corporation must be provided in Part IV, items 35 through  
41, rather than information about the common parent.  
However, the common parent's name and employer  
identification number must be included in the Comments  
section.  
Related parties. If the person who must file Form 8300  
is related to the individual who gave the person filing  
Form 8300 the cash, or related to the person on whose  
behalf the transaction was conducted, the person filing  
Form 8300 must include the words “RELATED PARTY  
TRANSACTION” in the Comments section. See IRC  
267(b) for more information about related parties. Consult  
your tax advisor for more information.  
Retention requirement. Persons must keep a copy of  
each Form 8300 for 5 years from the date filed. When  
filing electronically, ensure you save a copy of the  
completed form prior to submission. A confirmation that  
the Form 8300 has been filed is not a substitute for the  
form. We recommend you associate the confirmation  
number with the saved copy.  
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 IRS.gov/  
What’s New  
Starting January 1, 2024, you must electronically file  
Forms 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000  
Received in a Trade or Business, if you are required to file  
certain other information returns electronically (for  
example, Forms 1099 (series), Forms W-2, etc.). See  
Who must file, later.  
If you are required to electronically file your information  
returns, but filing electronically would cause you undue  
hardship, you might qualify for a waiver or exemptions.  
See the discussion on Waivers and Exemptions, later.  
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.  
You are required to file certain other information returns  
electronically if you are required to file, in aggregate, at  
least 10 information returns of one or more type, other  
than Form 8300, during the calendar year. If you file fewer  
than 10 information returns during 2024 (of any type other  
than Form 8300), then you do not have to file the  
Court clerks. 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 a specified criminal  
offense. Both dollar threshold and the specified criminal  
offense criteria must be met. “Specified criminal offense”  
means:  
A federal criminal offense involving a controlled  
substance (as defined in section 802 of Title 21 of the U.S.  
Code);  
information returns electronically and you are not required  
to file any Form 8300 electronically in 2024 (although you  
may choose to do so). The number of Forms 8300 you file  
does not affect whether you are required to file any  
information returns electronically, including any Forms  
8300. The 10-information-return threshold is reevaluated  
on an annual basis.  
Example 1. If you file five Forms W-2 and five Forms  
1099-INT in 2024, then you would have met the 10-return  
threshold and you are required to electronically file all your  
Racketeering (as defined in section 1951, 1952, or  
1955 of Title 18 of the U.S. Code);  
Money laundering (as defined in section 1956 or 1957  
of Title 18 of the U.S. Code); and  
Any state criminal offense substantially similar to stated  
offenses 1–3 above.  
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  
Dec 20, 2023

receives bail on behalf of a clerk, the clerk is treated as  
on the center top of page 1 of each Form 8300 when  
submitting the paper filed return.  
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 Regulations section  
1.6050I-2.  
Note. If you file fewer than 10 information returns (of any  
type other than Form 8300) during the calendar year, you  
may file Form 8300 in paper form without requesting a  
waiver. You still have the option to file electronically even if  
the minimum 10-return threshold is not met and you are  
encouraged to do so.  
Exemptions. If using the technology required to file in  
electronic form conflicts with your religious beliefs, you are  
automatically exempt from filing Form 8300 electronically.  
You must include the words “RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION”  
on the center top of page 1 of each Form 8300 when  
submitting the paper filed return.  
Late returns. You must identify late filed returns. A late  
Form 8300 must be filed in the same manner, either  
electronically or on paper, as a timely filed Form 8300. If  
you file a late Form 8300 electronically, you must include  
the word “LATE” in the Comments section of the return. If  
you file a late Form 8300 on paper, you must write “LATE”  
on the center top of page 1 of each Form 8300.  
Casinos. Casinos must file Form 8300 for nongaming  
activities (restaurants, shops, nightclubs, 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:  
Failure to file timely includes a failure to file in the  
By a financial institution required to file FinCEN  
required manner. If you are required to file

FinCEN Report 112, if the cash is received as part of its  
gaming business;  
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 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.  
DO NOT provide a written or electronic statement to  
any named person for a voluntary filing of Form 8300 for  
suspicious activity of any named person. For all Forms  
8300 required to be filed, the written or electronic  
statement to each named person must not indicate if the  
filer noted the transaction was suspicious. Also, providing  
a copy of Form 8300 to the named person, although not  
prohibited, is not advisable due to the sensitive  
information contained on the form, for example, the  
Employer Identification Number (EIN) or social security  
number (SSN) of the filer.  
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 by  
the recipient of the cash in the second transaction;  
In a transaction occurring entirely outside the United  
States. See Pub. 1544, Reporting Cash Payments of Over  
$10,000 (Received in a Trade or Business), regarding  
transactions occurring in Puerto Rico and territories 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.  
Electronically file Form 8300 using the FinCEN Bank  
Secrecy Act (BSA) E-Filing System at http://  
If you do not have to file electronically, file paper  
Forms 8300 with the Internal Revenue Service, Detroit  
Federal Building, P.O. Box 32621, Detroit, Ml 48232.  
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 of cash 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 of cash 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.  
Waivers. You may file a request for a waiver from filing  
information returns electronically due to undue hardship.  
For more information, refer to Form 8508, Application for a  
Waiver from Electronic Filing of Information Returns. If you  
request and are granted a waiver from electronically filing  
any information return, that waiver automatically applies to  
any Forms 8300 that you are required to file for the  
duration of the calendar year. You may not file a request  
for a waiver from filing only Form 8300 electronically. If a  
waiver is granted, you must include the words “WAIVER”  
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.  
Moreover, the filer must establish that the filer acted in  
a responsible manner before and after the failure  
occurred.  
The TIN for an individual (including a sole  
proprietorship) is the individual’s 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 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.

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.  
Exception. You are not required to provide the TIN of a  
person who is a nonresident alien individual or a foreign

trade or business if that trade or business principally  
consists of making sales to ultimate consumers.

reasonably be expected to remain useful for at least 1

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

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

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.  
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.

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

also be subject to criminal prosecution that, 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.  
Reasonable cause. Reasonable cause is based on all  
the facts and circumstances in each situation and allows  
the IRS to provide relief from a penalty that would  
otherwise apply. Reasonable cause relief is generally

care and prudence in determining their filing obligations  
but was nevertheless unable to comply with those  
obligations.
