I have taken more than $10k out without any hassle but I know it was

I just found a pretty good description of how the banks are required to >report transactions of $10k or more to the IRS. They must report it
within 15 days of the transaction and, according to the article, are
supposed to notify you that a report has been filed.
As I mentioned in another post, I've done many deposits or withdrawals
over the years at several banks. Some have been simply withdrawing
money on a bank check to purchase a vehicle and some were very large
deposits (like when I sold my company). I've *never* been notified

IRS although I am sure they did.
Seems like banks follow the law in different ways.

I am sure all this is reported but again, I've yet to be notified
by any bank of a transaction report filed with the IRS over the last 21 >years. The year I sold the business there was a wire transferred
deposit of big bucks to one of my accounts that was set up
purposely to receive that money. Never heard anything from the
bank about it. But, I can assure you my tax bill for that year
was enough to make you gulp.
For several years we held mortgages with two couples for homes that we
sold them.
Every year we paid taxes on the interest earned.
Last March, (with my encouragement) both obtained regular mortgages
or refinancing through banks and paid off their principle balances,
totaling about $600k which was wire transferred to one of our banks.
Never heard boo from the bank about reporting the transaction.

Interesting. Over the years I've done many transactions, withdrawals, deposits and wire transfers in excess of $10k and the bank involved
(there were several) never asked what the transaction was for nor did
they fill out any paperwork while I was present.

Still, many are complaining.
Fact is, transactions including deposits or withdrawals of
$10k or more is already being reported and has been since
1970.
It's a result of the Bank Secrecy Act, also known as the
Currency and
Foreign Transactions Reporting Act that was passed in 1970.
So, why is all the fuss about?
It used to be "cash transactions" now it is all transactions
It covers other transactions as well; for example bank checks
and money orders.
I've had to fill out paperwork for cash transactions over $10K but >>>>>> not
for wires or cashiers checks and some were over $100K.

There has never been any paperwork to fill out. The bank does the
reporting, not the consumer.
You are correct that *I* didn't fill out the paperwork but the bank
did it in front of me and asked what the purpose of the withdrawal was.
Interesting. Over the years I've done many transactions, withdrawals,
deposits and wire transfers in excess of $10k and the bank involved
(there were several) never asked what the transaction was for nor did
they fill out any paperwork while I was present.
It was $80K.
