Reporting cash transactions over $10,000

For detailed information about the reporting requirement, including what qualifies as a cash payment, what forms to use, where to file and examples of such payments, review the instructions regarding Reporting Cash Transactions over $10,000.  Additional information and links to the form and instructions are available on the IRS website.
