"Proof"?Lacking any form of proof where there should be some claiming gambling winnings, and it gets much less believable each time if its routine..
I agree. "Start" a service business with no inventory to be audited (like consulting or something intangible). Make your own personalized receipt book (or invoices, in case you are audited), write yourself receipts payed in cash. It should work. I filed a loss on a micro business "djing" and I got a fat return (I was working tho) If you file through tax act or something like that it basically does the work for you. Being self employed is easy, and you don't need to file yourself as a LLC or corporation which is time consuming. My 2 cents.Relax - by the time you get there, you'll have it figured out. $30.000 is nothing. Only if it's $30K a day, would you have to be creative.
The IRS will only come after you if they think you cheat on them - and that's the key to your question. Other aspects that are illegal may also attract attention, but $1000 in cash a week is no problem - and if it makes you nervous, just say you're self employed - and pay taxes for the money.
It's not a real problem - the money-part isn't. Now - selling controlled substances on the other hand is - unless it of course is all legal, medical etc - and you're paying your taxes. The IRS doesn't have monitoring of your accounts like that!
You're mixing apples and oranges. If your accounts become subpoenaed - it's because you're accused of acquiring money through illegal activity - like selling drugs.
File your taxes - show a realistic income, and pay your taxes for that amount - there will be no questions.
i do the same exact thing. put my money into my house or something i can buy from the store cash. put all my checks in the bank to use on things that can be tracked. Although if your neighbors know you dont work yet have lots of money you might get in trouble.Well what I tend to do with my money is buy things such as food and stuff the family needs. Then I take my money and get thing si need for my house. For instance if you need a new deck, or a new paint job, and you have a surplus of cash and good place to dump it is into a house that you own. Cash is king!!!!!
not to mention the fun u could have producing/directing/shooting/casting/start a girls gone wild type company and claim lots of cash sales on crappy porn.
