Where'd you pick up the key?

Sure, you can try, if you've actually got the proof. The real headache with these situations is that we only ever hear one side of the story—the taxpayer's. We never get the IRS's perspective because tax investigations are strictly confidential, and they aren't allowed to leak any specifics...

I'm lost here. Are you trying to say those 15 million were dirty money too, or that both the 15 and the 2 were totally legit... I just don't see how those two numbers even connect.

I’m not entirely sure which specific case you’re talking about or who the player is, but if they actually had proof of where the money came from, the IRS wouldn't be breathing down their neck. Just because someone could account for $20 million doesn't mean they can magically explain away an extra $300k... I don't see how those two things even connect. If I have receipts for $15,000 but the tax man finds another $3,000 I can't account for, obviously I'm getting hit for that missing three grand. There's no logic in thinking the first amount somehow justifies the second...

How exactly is that more transparent? Take big carriers like AT&T, for example. Their terms of service clearly state the specific reasons they might turn down a business partnership...

Look, based on how the prompt is worded, your solution is way too over-engineered. He doesn't even need an array—it doesn't say he needs to store all those inputs. All he really needs are two variables to keep track of the current max and min values.

Why on earth does Chrome have so many processes running? How many tabs do you even have open?

What kind of memory usage are you seeing in Task Manager for Chrome versus Firefox? And what’s the total RAM hit looking like on your end at the moment?

The thing is, that Google phone isn't even a certified AirPlay device; they basically just hacked it together to make it work. You're better off just picking up something that actually has the certification.

That error basically means you can't make video calls to landlines or mobile numbers—since those are external calls that actually cost money. I mean, it makes sense, right? How are you even supposed to video call someone on a standard home phone? That’s strictly audio. And since those aren't free, you'd need some extra credit on your account to cover it. Video calls should work just fine when you're calling other users on the platform, though... that part is supposed to be free.

Just show them the transaction history proving the paycheck actually hit the account and wasn't withdrawn...

Just some old savings from my paycheck. I moved it to a different bank, put it in a CD, and made some smaller transfers into it along the way. When the term ends, it goes right back into my checking. Honestly, I don't see why anyone would worry about where their own money comes from.

The IRS isn't going to stop people from saving money anyway. They'll just take their cut of the interest regardless.

redseal3 said:not really. some people are just living off their parents or an inheritance, so they're just tucking away that $1,000 they saved. 😁

Fair enough, but even then, you can prove where it came from just by looking at the transaction history. There shouldn't be any issues there. The real headache starts if that money was earned under the table.

But if you've been working off the books? Then they're coming for 40%...

This is just some Google Translate spam. 😉

I don't need a ton of cash—just a little something symbolic to give as a gift to someone heading out there.🙂

Here you go.

Next month, I plan to drop another $10,000 into the account, and frankly, I don't see anyone being able to stop me.

To be honest, part of me almost wishes the IRS would give me a call just to ask where this $10,000 came from, so I could simply tell them my mother gave it to me.
What could they actually do?
How exactly are they going to prove that my 60-year-old mother, with her decades of career experience, wasn't capable of tucking away $10,000...

I could always just tell them the truth—that I was living at home with my parents while working.
They covered the rent and the groceries, which allowed me to save every cent of my paycheck, so what can they possibly claim?

Obviously, $10,000 is just a rainy-day fund, and I’d love to hear from someone who actually had the IRS breathing down their neck over $20,000.
If you look at how much money Americans keep sitting in bank deposits, everything will become perfectly clear to you...

They'll just strip 40% of it away in taxes...

Under the new laws, the burden of proof is on you. If you don't have the paper trail to back it up, they aren't obligated to believe a word you say.

The law is pretty recent, so it's possible they haven't even started auditing anyone yet, or maybe just a handful of people...

Alright, my bad, I phrased that poorly. They’re seeing the aggregate totals on the payments, not every single individual transaction, but honestly, it ends up being the exact same thing.
If that total doesn't line up with what you reported as income, you're looking suspicious... it doesn't really matter if they see the sum or the breakdown.

Arthur Long5 said:My location is irrelevant; I am speaking strictly from my experience dealing with American banking institutions.
Were you aware that non-residents are also permitted to maintain bank accounts in the US without holding citizenship?

And I actually happen to hold citizenship myself...🙂

Of course it's possible, but the IRS isn't going to call you over $10,000 to ask for an explanation; that's pocket change.

If you have family members available, utilize them, but if you have no one else to turn to, then deposit it under your own name up to $35

If you have relatives, use them to split the funds, but if you don't, do not attempt to move everything at once... instead, spread the transfers out over several months.

Everything is interconnected, but if you deposit something like $70,000 to $80,000 over a six-month period, it shouldn't trigger anything too significant...

How can you be so sure about that? Did you even consider that since early 2017, the new regulations kicked in requiring banks to report basically every single deposit to the IRS?

Alright, here’s the breakdown:

1. Write a function to sum up the digits (looping or recursion—whatever works). Pro tip: lean on the modulo operator.
2. In your main block, set up a loop that starts at 10,000 and just keeps going.
3. For every iteration, call that digit-sum function and check if the result is greater than, less than, or equal to 10 (just follow whatever the specific prompt asks for).
4. If it hits that condition, bump your counter up by one and print the number.
5. Once that counter hits 10, kill the loop...

If you really want to push yourself, try rewriting that digit summation function using recursion instead... 😉
