I received eight thousand ($80k) dollars for someone that didn't have an account in the states and now I don't know how much taxes I'll be charged!

 Should I put some documents in place ?should I make a contract ?should I create   a loan doc or something like that ?what documentation should I ask for in order to not be held accountable for that?

What are you supposed to do with the money? Is it already in your bank account? This sounds like a scam. Don't touch the money for a month. The deposit may turn out to be bogus, and the bank will take the money back. If you have already taken it out of your account when they find out the deposit was no good, the bank will come after you for the money.

What fees did you pay?  How long ago was this?  Did the initial deposit clear?  If the 80k deposit was fake you will have a big problem.

Oh I just noticed your username xport LLC.  Is this a business transaction?  If you received it as income and you can deduct the fees it might be a wash and only the profit is taxable.

Hi I just read your reply. No it was personal i was just receiving it for someone who asked me to pay all fees from my same account so it looks like I used up the whole 80k

Hope it all works out and isn't a scram.  But that's how a major scam works.

This smells really bad.  You are supposed to be paying someone else's "fees" with this money out of YOUR account?  And then what happens to you when it turns out his deposit was no good and you are holding the bag for the "fees?"
