Banking transactions report to IRS

[jfugger]

Hi, would like to know if US banks report to the IRS or send you a Tax form when you pass a certain threshold in deposits i.e. Paypal sends you a tax form when you have had deposits over USD 20,000. This question is pertaining to PERSONAL banking current/savings account.

I believe they deal with personal accounts in the US like they do in most European countries and report any personal account to the IRS.

So in Europe all personal accounts are reported no matter the amount?
I thought that would be valid only if someone surpasses a specific threshold...like 10K or 100K Euro

All bank account holders will be reported to the IRS. Even if you have a signature on a corporate account your info ends up on the desk of the IRS. Banks will collect your data and just submit it (The bank will take no risk for you). FATCA
