Cash deposit

They ask. I deposit between $3k and 8k at a teller. She asks me if I have a job (I don’t). Something else they might ask but I forget.

They don't ask anything. Such a small sum. Just don't do it all at once.

Just deposit it

It’s cash

I do this all the time

ATM no I’d do it in lower increments just because you have zero records of its lost or stolen. I’d do Two grand per deposit

Who uses an AtM anymore?

Echoing what others said - don’t deposit it at an ATM. If that’s really your only option then don’t deposit it. Figure out another way to get the money to whomever you want it to go.

But why?
Also, look up "structuring" related to bank deposits. Any amount that a teller finds "suspicious" will garner a report to the IRS. There is no 10K min limit like some older people still think. That went away over 20 years ago. It's any amount now.

Let them report. So what? It's not like cash deposits are illegal.

Go inside the branch. Don’t do it at an atm.

+1. Come on OP.

Sure. If you have nothing to hide, why would you care about privacy? Right?

Huh? What are you talking about? The bank, it's auditors, and anyone else who has legal access to the bank's data already has access to your information at the bank.. What additional privacy is compromised by the bank reporting this $6K deposit to the IRS?

You don’t want the IRS’s attention called to you, even if your finances and returns are 100% aboveboard. If they question you, you won’t be compensated for the time and expense of proving you’ve done nothing wrong.

6k is below report level. It’s not that much money

Wow OP, depositing $6000 into an ATM just sounds incredibly dumb. Most people I know that have USAA also have a local account for things like this.

Sure, if you have nothing to hide, then why worry about privacy at all right? Let everyone in and inspect everything!

Almost no one is subject to estate taxes, FFS

USAA is horrible. You haven't stayed on top of all the outrageous things they've done.

Who uses an AtM anymore?

I've never used one for deposits, but...do you actually go inside the bank and make withdrawals from a teller?
