                       TITLE 26--INTERNAL REVENUE
 
    CHAPTER I--INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 
                               (CONTINUED)
 
Procedure and Administration--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  1.6050I-1  Returns relating to cash in excess of $10,000 received 
in a trade or business.

    (a) Reporting requirement--(1) Reportable transaction--(i) In 
general. Any person (as defined in section 7701(a)(1)) who, in the 
course of a trade or business in which such person is engaged, receives 
cash in excess of $10,000 in 1 transaction (or 2 or more related 
transactions) shall, except as otherwise provided, make a return of 
information with respect to the receipt of cash.
    (ii) Certain financial transactions. Section 6050I of title 26 of 
the United States Code requires persons to report information about 
financial transactions to the Internal Revenue Service, and section 5331 
of title 31 of the United States Code requires persons to report similar 
information about certain transactions to the Financial Crimes 
Enforcement Network. This information shall be reported on the same form 
as prescribed by the Secretary.
    (2) Cash received for the account of another. Cash in excess of 
$10,000 received by a person for the account of another must be reported 
under this section. Thus, for example, a person who collects delinquent 
accounts receivable for an automobile dealer must report with respect to 
the receipt of cash in excess of $10,000 from the collection of a 
particular account even though the proceeds of the collection are 
credited to the account of the automobile dealer (i.e., where the rights 
to the proceeds from the account are retained by the automobile dealer 
and the collection is made on a fee-for-service basis).
    (3) Cash received by agents--(i) General rule. Except as provided in 
paragraph (a)(3)(ii) of this section, a person who in the course of a 
trade or business acts as an agent (or in some other similar capacity) 
and receives cash in excess of $10,000 from a principal, must report the 
receipt of cash under this section.
    (ii) Exception. An agent who receives cash from a principal and uses 
all of the cash within 15 days in a cash transaction (the ``second cash 
transaction'') which is reportable under section 6050I or 5312 of title 
31 of the United States Code and the regulations thereunder (31 CFR Part 
103), and who discloses the name, address, and taxpayer identification 
number of the principal to the recipient in the second cash transaction 
need not report the initial receipt of cash under this section. An agent 
will be deemed to have met the disclosure requirements of this paragraph 
(a)(3)(ii) if the agent discloses only the name of the principal and the 
agent knows that the recipient has the principal's address and taxpayer 
identification number.
    (iii) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
the rules in paragraphs (a)(3) (i) and (ii) of this section:

    Example. B, the principal, gives D, an attorney, $75,000 in cash to 
purchase real property on behalf of B. Within 15 days D purchases real 
property for cash from E, a real estate developer, and discloses to E, 
B's name, address, and taxpayer identification number. Because the 
transaction qualifies for the exception provided in paragraph (a)(3)(ii) 
of this section, D need not report with respect to the initial receipt 
of cash under this section. The exception does not apply, however, if D 
pays E by means other than cash, or effects the purchase more than 15 
days following receipt of the cash from B, or fails to disclose B's 
name, address, and taxpayer identification number (assuming D does not 
know that E already has B's address and taxpayer identification number), 
or purchases the property from a person whose sale of the property is 
not in the course of that person's trade or business. In any such case, 
D is required to report the receipt of cash from B under this section.

    (b) Multiple payments. The receipt of multiple cash deposits or cash 
installment payments (or other similar payments or prepayments) on or 
after January 1, 1990, relating to a single transaction (or two or more 
related transactions), is reported as set forth in paragraphs (b)(1) 
through (b)(3) of this section.
    (1) Initial payment in excess of $10,000. If the initial payment 
exceeds $10,000, the recipient must report the initial payment within 15 
days of its receipt.
    (2) Initial payment of $10,000 or less. If the initial payment does 
not exceed $10,000, the recipient must aggregate the initial payment and 
subsequent payments made within one year of the initial payment until 
the aggregate amount exceeds $10,000, and report with respect to the 
aggregate amount within 15 days after receiving the payment that causes 
the aggregate amount to exceed $10,000.
    (3) Subsequent payments. In addition to any other required report, a 
report must be made each time that previously unreportable payments made 
within a 12-month period with respect to a single transaction (or two or 
more related transactions), individually or in the aggregate, exceed 
$10,000. The report must be made within 15 days after receiving the 
payment in excess of $10,000 or the payment that causes the aggregate 
amount received in the 12- month period to exceed $10,000. (If more than 
one report would otherwise be required for multiple cash payments within 
a 15-day period that relate to a single transaction (or two or more 
related transactions), the recipient may make a single combined report 
with respect to the payments. The combined report must be made no later 
than the date by which the first of the separate reports would otherwise 
be required to be made.) A report with respect to payments of $10,000 or 
less that are reportable under this paragraph (b)(3) and are received 
after December 31, 1989, but before July 10, 1990, is due July 24, 1990.
    (4) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
the rules in paragraphs (b)(1) through (b)(3) of this section:

    Example. On January 10, 1991, M receives an initial cash payment of 
$11,000 with respect to a transaction. M receives subsequent cash 
payments with respect to the same transaction of $4,000 on February 15, 
1991, $6,000 on March 20, 1991, and $12,000 on May 15, 1991. M must make 
a report with respect to the payment received on January 10, 1991, by 
January 25, 1991. M must also make a report with respect to the payments 
totalling $22,000 received from February 15, 1991, through May 15, 1991. 
This report must be made by May 30, 1991, that is, within 15 days of the 
date that the subsequent payments, all of which were received within a 
12-month period, exceeded $10,000.

    (c) Meaning of terms. The following definitions apply for purposes 
of this section--
    (1) Cash--(i) Amounts received prior to February 3, 1992. For 
amounts received prior to February 3, 1992, the term cash means the coin 
and currency of the United States or of any other country, which 
circulate in and are customarily used and accepted as money in the 
country in which issued.
    (ii) Amounts received on or after February 3, 1992. For amounts 
received on or after February 3, 1992, the term cash means--
    (A) The coin and currency of the United States or of any other 
country, which circulate in and are customarily used and accepted as 
money in the country in which issued; and
    (B) A cashier's check (by whatever name called, including 
``treasurer's check'' and ``bank check''), bank draft, traveler's check, 
or money order having a face amount of not more than $10,000--
    (1) Received in a designated reporting transaction as defined in 
paragraph (c)(1)(iii) of this section (except as provided in paragraphs 
(c)(1)(iv), (v), and (vi) of this section), or
    (2) Received in any transaction in which the recipient knows that 
such instrument is being used in an attempt to avoid the reporting of 
the transaction under section 6050I and this section.
    (iii) Designated reporting transaction. A designated reporting 
transaction is a retail sale (or the receipt of funds by a broker or 
other intermediary in connection with a retail sale) of--
    (A) A consumer durable,
    (B) A collectible, or
    (C) A travel or entertainment activity.

[[Page 355]]

    (iv) Exception for certain loans. A cashier's check, bank draft, 
traveler's check, or money order received in a designated reporting 
transaction is not treated as cash pursuant to paragraph 
(c)(l)(ii)(B)(1) of this section if the instrument constitutes the 
proceeds of a loan from a bank (as that term is defined in 31 CFR part 
103). The recipient may rely on a copy of the loan document, a written 
statement from the bank, or similar documentation (such as a written 
lien instruction from the issuer of the instrument) to substantiate that 
the instrument constitutes loan proceeds.
    (v) Exception for certain installment sales. A cashier's check, bank 
draft, traveler's check, or money order received in a designated 
reporting transaction is not treated as cash pursuant to paragraph 
(c)(1)(ii)(B)(1) of this section if the instrument is received in 
payment on a promissory note or an installment sales contract (including 
a lease that is considered to be a sale for Federal income tax 
purposes). However, the preceding sentence applies only if--
    (A) Promissory notes or installment sales contracts with the same or 
substantially similar terms are used in the ordinary course of the 
recipient's trade or business in connection with sales to ultimate 
consumers; and
    (B) The total amount of payments with respect to the sale that are 
received on or before the 60th day after the date of the sale does not 
exceed 50 percent of the purchase price of the sale.
    (vi) Exception for certain down payment plans. A cashier's check, 
bank draft, traveler's check, or money order received in a designated 
reporting transaction is not treated as cash pursuant to paragraph 
(c)(1)(ii)(B)(1) of this section is the instrument is received pursuant 
to a payment plan requiring one or more down payments and the payment of 
the balance of the purchase price by a date no later than the date of 
the sale (in the case of an item of travel or entertainment, a date no 
later than the earliest date that any item of travel or entertainment 
pertaining to the same trip or event is furnished). However, the 
preceding sentence applies only if--
    (A) The recipient uses payment plans with the same or substantially 
similar terms in the ordinary course of its trade or business in 
connection with sales to ultimate consumers; and
    (B) The instrument is received more than 60 days prior to the date 
of the sale (in the case of an item of travel or entertainment, the date 
on which the final payment is due).
    (vii) Examples. The following examples illustrate the definition of 
``cash'' set forth in paragraphs (c)(l)(ii) through (vi) of this 
section.

    Example 1. D, an individual, purchases gold coins from M, a coin 
dealer, for $13,200. D tenders to M in payment United States currency in 
the amount of $6,200 and a cashier's check in the face amount of $7,000 
which D had purchased. Because the sale is a designated reporting 
transaction, the cashier's check is treated as cash for purposes of 
section 6050I and this section. Therefore, because M has received more 
than $10,000 in cash with respect to the transaction, M must make the 
report required by section 6050I and this section.
    Example 2. E, an individual, purchases an automobile from Q, an 
automobile dealer, for $11,500. E tenders to Q in payment United States 
currency in the amount of $2,000 and a cashier's check payable to E and 
Q in the amount of $9,500. The cashier's check constitutes the proceeds 
of a loan from the bank issuing the check. The origin of the proceeds is 
evident from provisions inserted by the bank on the check that instruct 
the dealer to cause a lien to be placed on the vehicle as security for 
the loan. The sale of the automobile is a designated reporting 
transaction. However, under paragraph (c)(1)(iv) of this section, 
because E has furnished Q documentary information establishing that the 
cashier's check constitutes the proceeds of a loan from the bank issuing 
the check, the cashier's check is not treated as cash pursuant to 
paragraph (c)(1)(ii)(B)(1) of this section.
    Example 3. F, an individual, purchases an item of jewelry from S, a 
retail jeweler, for $12,000. F gives S traveler's checks totalling 
$2,400 and pays the balance with a personal check payable to S in the 
amount of $9,600. Because the sale is a designated reporting 
transaction, the traveler's checks are treated as cash for purposes of 
section 6050I and this section. However, because the personal check is 
not treated as cash for purposes of section 6050I and this section, S 
has not received more than $10,000 in cash in the transaction and no 
report is required to be filed under section 6050I and this section.
    Example 4. G, an individual, purchases a boat from T, a boat dealer, 
for $16,500. G pays T with a cashier's check payable to T in the

[[Page 356]]

amount of $16,500. The cashier's check is not treated as cash because 
the face amount of the check is more than $10,000. Thus, no report is 
required to be made by T under section 6050I and this section.
    Example 5. H, an individual, arranges with W, a travel agent, for 
the chartering of a passenger aircraft to transport a group of 
individuals to a sports event in another city. H also arranges with W 
for hotel accommodations for the group and for admission tickets to the 
sports event. In payment, H tenders to W money orders which H had 
previously purchased. The total amount of the money orders, none of 
which individually exceeds $10,000 in face amount, exceeds $10,000. 
Because the transaction is a designated reporting transaction, the money 
orders are treated as cash for purposes of section 6050I and this 
section. Therefore, because W has received more than $10,000 in cash 
with respect to the transaction, W must make the report required by 
section 6050I and this section.

    (2) Consumer durable. The term consumer durable means an item of 
tangible personal property of a type that is suitable under ordinary 
usage for personal consumption or use, that can reasonably be expected 
to be useful for at least 1 year under ordinary usage, and that has a 
sales price of more than $10,000. Thus, for example, a $20,000 
automobile is a consumer durable (whether or not it is sold for business 
use), but a $20,000 dump truck or a $20,000 factory machine is not.
    (3) Collectible. The term collectible means an item described in 
paragraphs (A) through (D) of section 408(m)(2) (determined without 
regard to section 408(m)(3)).
    (4) Travel or entertainment activity. The term travel or 
entertainment activity means an item of travel or entertainment (within 
the meaning of Sec.  1.274-2(b)(1)) pertaining to a single trip or event 
where the aggregate sales price of the item and all other items 
pertaining to the same trip or event that are sold in the same 
transaction (or related transactions) exceeds $10,000.
    (5) Retail sale. The term retail sale means any sale (whether for 
resale or for any other purpose) made in the course of a trade or 
business if that trade or business principally consists of making sales 
to ultimate consumers.
    (6) Trade or business. The term trade or business has the same 
meaning as under section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.
    (7) Transaction--(i) The term transaction means the underlying event 
precipitating the payer's transfer of cash to the recipient. 
Transactions include (but are not limited to) a sale of goods or 
services; a sale of real property; a sale of intangible property; a 
rental of real or personal property; an exchange of cash for other cash; 
the establishment or maintenance of or contribution to a custodial, 
trust, or escrow arrangement; a payment of a preexisting debt; a 
conversion of cash to a negotiable instrument; a reimbursement for 
expenses paid; or the making or repayment of a loan. A transaction may 
not be divided into multiple transactions in order to avoid reporting 
under this section.
    (ii) The term related transactions means any transaction conducted 
between a payer (or its agent) and a recipient of cash in a 24-hour 
period. Additionally, transactions conducted between a payer (or its 
agent) and a cash recipient during a period of more than 24 hours are 
related if the recipient knows or has reason to know that each 
transaction is one of a series of connected transactions.
    (iii) The following examples illustrate the definition of paragraphs 
(c)(7) (i) and (ii).

    Example (1). A person has a tacit agreement with a gold dealer to 
purchase $36,000 in gold bullion. The $36,000 purchase represents a 
single transaction under paragraph (c)(7)(i) of this section and the 
reporting requirements of this section cannot be avoided by recasting 
the single sales transaction into 4 separate $9,000 sales transactions.
    Example (2). An attorney agrees to represent a client in a criminal 
case with the attorney's fee to be determined on an hourly basis. In the 
first month in which the attorney represents the client, the bill for 
the attorney's services comes to $8,000 which the client pays in cash. 
In the second month in which the attorney represents the client, the 
bill for the attorney's services comes to $4,000, which the client again 
pays in cash. The aggregate amount of cash paid ($12,000) relates to a 
single transaction as defined in paragraph (c)(7)(i) of this section, 
the sale of legal services relating to the criminal case, and the 
receipt of cash must be reported under this section.
    Example (3). A person intends to contribute a total of $45,000 to a 
trust fund, and the trustee of the fund knows or has reason to know of 
that intention. The $45,000 contribution is a single transaction under 
paragraph

[[Page 357]]

(c)(7)(i) of this section and the reporting requirement of this section 
cannot be avoided by the grantor's making five separate $9,000 cash 
contributions to a single fund or by making five $9,000 cash 
contributions to five separate funds administered by a common trustee.
    Example (4). K, an individual, attends a one day auction and 
purchases for cash two items, at a cost of $9,240 and $1,732.50 
respectively (tax and buyer's premium included). Because the 
transactions are related transactions as defined in paragraph (c)(7)(ii) 
of this section, the auction house is required to report the aggregate 
amount of cash received from the related sales ($10,972.50), even though 
the auction house accounts separately on its books for each item sold 
and presents the purchaser with separate bills for each item purchased.
    Example (5). F, a coin dealer, sells for cash $9,000 worth of gold 
coins to an individual on three successive days. Under paragraph 
(c)(7)(ii) of this section the three $9,000 transactions are related 
transactions aggregating $27,000 if F knows, or has reason to know, that 
each transaction is one of a series of connected transactions.

    (8) Recipient. (i) The term recipient means the person receiving the 
cash. Except as provided in paragraph (c)(8)(ii) of this section, each 
store, division, branch, department, headquarters, or office 
(``branch'') (regardless of physical location) comprising a portion of a 
person's trade or business shall for purposes of this section be deemed 
a separate recipient.
    (ii) A branch that receives cash payments will not be deemed a 
separate recipient if the branch (or a central unit linking such branch 
with other branches) would in the ordinary course of business have 
reason to know the identity of payers making cash payments to other 
branches of such person.
    (iii) Examples. The following examples illustrate the application of 
the rules in paragraphs (c)(8)(i) and (ii) of this section:

    Example (1). N, an individual, purchases regulated futures contracts 
at a cost of $7,500 and $5,000, respectively, through two different 
branches of Commodities Broker X on the same day. N pays for each 
purchase with cash. Each branch of Commodities Broker X transmits the 
sales information regarding each of N's purchases to a central unit of 
Commodities Broker X (which settles the transactions against N's 
account). Under paragraph (c)(8)(ii) of this section the separate 
branches of Commodities Broker X are not deemed to be separate 
recipients; therefore. Commodities Broker X must report with respect to 
the two related regulated futures contracts sales in accordance with 
this section.
    Example (2). P, a corporation, owns and operates a racetrack. P's 
racetrack contains 100 betting windows at which pari-mutuel wagers may 
be made. R, an individual, places cash wagers of $3,000 each at five 
separate betting windows. Assuming that in the ordinary course of 
business each betting window (or a central unit linking windows) does 
not have reason to know the identity of persons making wagers at other 
betting windows, each betting window would be deemed to be a separate 
cash recipient under paragraph (c)(8)(i) of this section. As no 
individual recipient received cash in excess of $10,000, no report need 
be made by P under this section.

    (d) Exceptions to the reporting requirements of section 6050I--(1) 
Receipt of cash by certain financial institutions. A financial 
institution as defined in subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), 
(G), (J), (K), (R), and (S) of section 5312 (a)(2) of Title 31, United 
States Code is not required to report the receipt of cash exceeding 
$10,000 under section 6050I.
    (2) Receipt of cash by certain casinos having gross annual gaming 
revenue in excess of $1,000,000--(i) In general. If a casino receives 
cash in excess of $10,000 and is required to report the receipt of such 
cash directly to the Treasury Department under 31 CFR 103.22(a)(2) and 
103.25 and is subject to the recordkeeping requirements of 31 CFR 
103.36, then the casino is not required to make a return with respect to 
the receipt of such cash under section 6050I and these regulations.
    (ii) Casinos exempt under 31 CFR 103.45(c). Under the authority of 
section 6050I(c)(1)(A), the Secretary may exempt from the reporting 
requirements of section 6050I casinos with gross annual gaming revenue 
in excess of $1,000,000 that are exempt under 31 CFR 103.45(c) from 
reporting certain cash transactions to the Treasury Department under 31 
CFR 103.22(a)(2) and 103.25. The determination whether a casino which is 
granted an exemption under 31 CFR 103.45(c) will be required to report 
under section 6050I will be made on a case by case basis, concurrently 
with the granting of such an exemption.

[[Page 358]]

    (iii) Reporting of cash received in a nongaming business. Nongaming 
businesses (such as shops, restaurants, entertainment, and hotels) at 
casino hotels and resorts are separate trades or businesses in which the 
receipt of cash in excess of $10,000 is reportable under section 6050I 
and these regulations. Thus, a casino exempt under paragraph (d)(2) (i) 
or (ii) of this section must report with respect to cash in excess of 
$10,000 received in its nongaming businesses.
    (iv) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
the rules in paragraphs (d)(2) (i) and (iii) of this section:

    Example. A and B are casinos having gross annual gaming revenue in 
excess of $1,000,000. C is a casino with gross annual gaming revenue of 
less than $1,000,000. Casino A receives $15,000 in cash from a customer 
with respect to a gaming transaction which the casino reports to the 
Treasury Department under 31 CFR 103.22(a)(2) and 103.25. Casino B 
receives $15,000 in cash from a customer in payment for accommodations 
provided to that customer at Casino B's hotel. Casino C receives $15,000 
in cash from a customer with respect to a gaming transaction. Casino A 
is not required to report the transaction under section 6050I or these 
regulations because the exception for certain casinos provided in 
paragraph (d)(2)(i) (``the casino exception'') applies. Casino B is 
required to report under section 6050I and these regulations because the 
casino exception does not apply to the receipt of cash from a nongaming 
activity. Casino C is required to report under section 6050I and these 
regulations because the casino exception does not apply to casinos 
having gross annual gaming revenue of $1,000,000 or less which do not 
have to report to the Treasury Department under 31 CFR 103.22(a)(2) and 
103.25.

    (3) Receipt of cash not in the course of the recipient's trade or 
business. The receipt of cash in excess of $10,000 by a person other 
than in the course of the person's trade or business is not reportable 
under section 6050I. Thus, for example, F, an individual in the trade or 
business of selling real estate, sells a motorboat for $12,000, the 
purchase price of which is paid in cash. F did not use the motorboat in 
any trade or business in which F was engaged. F is not required to 
report under section 6050I or these regulations because the exception 
provided in this paragraph (d)(3) applies.
    (4) Receipt is made with respect to a foreign cash transaction--(i) 
In general. Generally, there is no requirement to report with respect to 
a cash transaction if the entire transaction occurs outside the United 
States (the fifty states and the District of Columbia). An entire 
transaction consists of both the transaction as defined in paragraph 
(c)(7)(i) of this section and the receipt of cash by the recipient. If, 
however, any part of an entire transaction occurs in the Commonwealth of 
Puerto Rico or a possession or territory of the United States and the 
recipient of cash in that transaction is subject to the general 
jurisdiction of the Internal Revenue Service under title 26 of the 
United States Code, the recipient is required to report the transaction 
under this section.
    (ii) Example. The following example illustrates the application of 
the rules in paragraph (d)(4)(i) of this section:

    Example. W, an individual engaged in the trade or business of 
selling aircraft, reaches an agreement to sell an airplane to a U.S. 
citizen living in Mexico. The agreement, no portion of which is 
formulated in the United States, calls for a purchase price of $125,000 
and requires delivery of and payment for the airplane to be made in 
Mexico. Upon delivery of the airplane in Mexico, W receives $125,000 in 
cash. W is not required to report under section 6050I or these 
regulations because the exception provided in paragraph (d)(4)(i) of 
this section (``foreign transaction exception'') applies. If, however, 
any part of the agreement to sell had been formulated in the United 
States, the foreign transaction exception would not apply and W would be 
required to report the receipt of cash under section 6050I and these 
regulations.

    (e) Time, manner, and form of reporting--(1) Time of reporting. The 
reports required by this section must be filed with the Internal Revenue 
Service by the 15th day after the date the cash is received. However, in 
the case of multiple payments relating to a single transaction (or two 
or more related transactions), see paragraph (b) of this section.
    (2) Form of reporting. A report required by paragraph (a) of this 
section must be made on Form 8300. A return of information made in 
compliance with this paragraph must contain the name, address, and 
taxpayer identification number of the person from whom

[[Page 359]]

the cash was received; the name, address, and taxpayer identification 
number of the person on whose behalf the transaction was conducted (if 
the recipient knows or has reason to know that the person from whom the 
cash was received conducted the transaction as an agent for another 
person); the amount of cash received; the date and nature of the 
transaction; and any other information required by Form 8300. Form 8300 
can be obtained from any Internal Revenue Service Forms Distribution 
Center.
    (3) Manner of reporting--(i) Where to file. A person making a return 
of information under this section must file Form 8300 by mailing it to 
the address shown in the instructions to the form.
    (ii) Verification. A person making a return of information under 
this section must verify the identity of the person from whom the 
reportable cash is received. Verification of the identity of a person 
who purports to be an alien must be made by examination of such person's 
passport, alien identification card, or other official document 
evidencing nationality or residence. Verification of the identity of any 
other person may be made by examination of a document normally 
acceptable as a means of identification when cashing or accepting checks 
(for example, a driver's license or a credit card). In addition, a 
return will be considered incomplete if the person required to make a 
return knows (or has reason to know) that an agent is conducting the 
transaction for a principal, and the return does not identify both the 
principal and the agent.
    (iii) Retention of returns. A person required to make an information 
return under this section must keep a copy of each return filed for five 
years from the date of filing.
    (f) Requirement of furnishing statements--(1) In general. Any person 
required to make an information return under this section must furnish a 
single, annual, written statement to each person whose name is set forth 
in a return (``identified person'') filed with the Internal Revenue 
Service.
    (2) Form of statement. The statement required by the preceding 
paragraph need not follow any particular format, but it must contain the 
following information:
    (i) The name and address of the person making the return;
    (ii) The aggregate amount of reportable cash received by the person 
who made the information return required by this section during the 
calendar year in all cash transactions relating to the identified 
person; and
    (iii) A legend stating that the information contained in the 
statement is being reported to the Internal Revenue Service.
    (3) When statement is to be furnished. Statements required under 
this paragraph (f) must be furnished to an identified person on or 
before January 31 of the year following the calendar year in which the 
cash is received. A statement shall be considered to be furnished to an 
identified person if it is mailed to the identified person at the 
identified person's last known address.
    (g) Cross-reference to penalty provisions--(1) Failure to file 
correct information return. See section 6721 for civil penalties 
relating to the failure to file a correct return under section 6050I(a) 
and paragraph (a) of this section.
    (2) Failure to furnish correct statement. See section 6722 for civil 
penalties relating to the failure to furnish a correct statement to 
identified persons under section 6050I(e) and paragraph (f) of this 
section.
    (3) Criminal penalties. Any person who willfully fails to make a 
return or makes a false return under section 6050I and this section may
