I just want that money back. By the I thought that a deposit of&nbsp; $10000 or above will notify the IRS by the bank.</P> Sun, 25 Dec 2022 15:34:57 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-i-wrote-a-check-of-30k-to-my-brother-for-the-nominee-adjustment-purose-on-the-2nd-house-that-i/01/2805648#M1016836 tuanngnttax 2022-12-25T15:34:57Z https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-i-wrote-a-check-of-30k-to-my-brother-for-the-nominee-adjustment-purose-on-the-2nd-house-that-i/01/2805673#M1016848 <P>The reporting of large amounts doesn’t go to the IRS as income so it will not have any effect.&nbsp;</P> Sun, 25 Dec 2022 18:20:57 GMT https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/taxes/discussion/re-i-wrote-a-check-of-30k-to-my-brother-for-the-nominee-adjustment-purose-on-the-2nd-house-that-i/01/2805673#M1016848 Critter-3 2022-12-25T18:20:57Z
