Penalties for Failure to File IRS Form 8300 in Miami
Currency transaction reports (known as CTRs) are used largely for the purpose of preventing and detecting money laundering activities.
CTRs help the government crack down on money laundering for the purposes of:
- Tax evasion
- Financial fraud
- Terrorist financing
- Drug trafficking
- Other illegal activities
Failure to file a CTR is a white-collar crime that can be charged as a felony. It carries possible sentences that include prison time, steep fines, and even payment of the costs of prosecution. If you are accused of willfully violating the requirement to file Form 8300, you may be fined up to $250,000 and sent to federal prison for as many as 5 years.
Falsely filing the form is punishable by as much as $1,000 in fines and 3 years in prison. In the event that you are charged with failure to file while also violating other laws of the United States, such as in relation to drug trafficking activities, you may be sentenced to pay $500,000 in fines and sent to prison for 10 years.
