Even though no service has been performed at the time the cash is received, the attorney is required to file Form 8300 within fifteen days after the cash is received. Once a person receives (in a transaction or related transactions) cash exceeding $10,000 in a person's trade or business, a Form 8300 must be filed.
What happens when a Form 8300 is filed?
The Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 in a Trade or Business, provides valuable information to the Internal Revenue Service and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) in their efforts to combat money laundering.
What are the key pieces to remember when completing a Form 8300 on cash purchases?
Yes, you must give a written statement to each person named on any Form 8300 that you file. The statement must show the name and address of your business, the name and phone number of a contact person, and the total amount of the reportable cash you received from the person during the year.
