IRS les recuerda a empresas que informen transacciones grandes en efectivo; se recomienda la presentación electrónica

WASHINGTON — El Servicio de Impuestos Internos les recuerda hoy a las empresas su responsabilidad de presentar el Formulario 8300 (SP), Informe de Pagos en Efectivo de Exceso de $10,000 Recibidos en una Ocupación o Negocio, y recomienda la presentación electrónica para ayudarlos a presentar formularios precisos y completos.

Aunque muchas transacciones en efectivo son legítimas, la información reportada en el Formulario 8300 puede ayudar a detener a aquellos que evaden impuestos, se benefician del tráfico de drogas, participan en el financiamiento de terroristas y llevan a cabo otras actividades criminales. El gobierno a menudo puede rastrear dinero de estas actividades ilegales a través de pagos informados en formularios completos y precisos.

Para ayudar a las empresas a preparar y presentar informes, el IRS creó un video acerca de cómo completar el Formulario 8300 – Parte I (en inglés), Parte II (en inglés). El corto video señala secciones del Formulario 8300 para las cuales el IRS comúnmente encuentra errores y explica cómo completar con precisión esas secciones.

Además, el IRS alienta a las empresas a presentar electrónicamente los formularios completados. Aunque tienen la opción de presentar el Formulario 8300 en papel, la presentación electrónica es más precisa y reduce la necesidad de correspondencia de seguimiento con el IRS.

Muchas empresas ya descubrieron que el sistema de presentación electrónica gratuito y seguro es una manera más conveniente y económica de cumplir con la fecha límite para la presentación de informes de 15 días después de una transacción. Reciben confirmación automática y gratuita de recibo cuando presentan. Además, las empresas pueden presentar sus informes por lotes, lo que es especialmente útil para aquellos que tienen que presentar muchos formularios.

Para presentar el Formulario 8300 electrónicamente, una empresa debe configurar una cuenta con el Sistema de presentación electrónica BSA de FinCEN (en inglés). Para más información, las empresas interesadas pueden llamar al centro de ayuda de presentación electrónica de BSA al 866-346-9478 o enviarlos por correo electrónico a bsaefilinghelp@fincen.gov. El servicio de asistencia está disponible de lunes a viernes de 8 a.m. a 6 p.m. hora del este.

Para más información acerca del requisito de presentación de informes, vea FS-2021-3SP disponible en IRS.gov.

Permissible period for incurring claims for plan years ending in 2020 and 2021
Special rule regarding post-termination reimbursements from health FSAs
Special claims period and carryover rule for dependent care assistance programs when a dependent "ages out" during the COVID-19 public health emergency
Certain mid-year election changes for health FSAs and dependent care assistance programs for plan years ending in 2021

See the health FSAs and dependent care assistance programs news release for more information.

3. IRS reminds farmers and fishers of March 1 tax deadline

IRS reminds businesses to report large cash transactions; e-file encouraged

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today reminds businesses of their responsibility to file Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000, and encourages e-filing to help them file accurate, complete forms.

Although many cash transactions are legitimate, information reported on Form 8300 can help stop those who evade taxes, profit from drug trading, engage in terrorist financing and conduct other criminal activities. The government can often trace money from these illegal activities through payments reported on complete, accurate forms.

To help businesses prepare and file reports, the IRS created a video on How to Complete Form 8300 – Part I, Part II. The short video points out sections of Form 8300 for which the IRS commonly finds mistakes and explains how to accurately complete those sections.

Also, the IRS encourages businesses to electronically file completed forms. Although they have the option of filing Form 8300 on paper, electronic filing is more accurate and reduces the need for follow-up correspondence with the IRS.

Many businesses have already found the free and secure e-filing system is a more convenient and cost-effective way to meet the reporting deadline of 15 days after a transaction. They get free, automatic acknowledgment of receipt when they file. And, businesses can batch file their reports, which is especially helpful to those required to file many forms.

To file Form 8300 electronically, a business must set up an account with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network's BSA E-Filing System. For more information, interested businesses can call the Bank Secrecy Act E-Filing Help Desk at 866-346-9478 or email them at BSAEFilingHelp@fincen.gov. The help desk is available Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time.

For more information about the reporting requirement, see FS-2021-3 available on IRS.gov.
