I work as a bartender and had a shoebox of cash savings that I recently realized was unwise to keep unprotected. I went to the bank yesterday to deposit it. I did it in three transactions because I only wanted to bring in as much could fit in my pocket. (I had six hundred in singles.) The total deposit was 13,000 and I thought it was strange that they asked me to write down where I worked and what I did. The lady asked me why I didn't deposit it all at once and I explained I didn't want to bring in the whole shoebox and also thought it would be easier for them to not have to run the entire thing through the machine at one time. She informed that I had not made things easier.
This morning I looked it up and found out that deposits over ten grand are an issue and breaking it into smaller amounts seems even worse. The money isn't from anything illegal but is more than I would have fully reported on my next tax return.
Do I need to be worried?
