"Legal" is one thing and "What you're likely to get caught
for" is another. I highly doubt that a bank in China is
going to notify the US government of your deposit or send
out a 1099, so as long as you're not stashing millions
offshore or financing Al Qaeda, one is probably relatively
safe not reporting this income.

The only requirement, assuming normal bank transfers (i.e.,
wires), is that you will need to report the bank accounts to
the U S Treasury Dept. each year if the total of all the
accounts exceeds $10,000 on any one day in the year. The
Form is TD F 90-22.1.

If the TOTAL of all foreign bank accounts exceeds $10K, you
have to file a form with the Treasury Department. It's not
a tax forum per se.

Also, TAKING $10K in cash out of the country is reportable
to Customs, but that's at one time.

I don't think there are any other US tax considerations,
except that an interest there is reportable on your US tax
returns if you are a US citizen, permanent resident, or
actual resident.

Legalities should be directed to an attorney. Foreign bank
accounts must be reported to the treasury department on Form
TD911.1.1 <sp

If a deposit or combinations of deposits are in excess of
the $10,000 limit then a report of the transfer is sent to
the US Treasury department. A deposit of more than $10,000
is generally legal in the US except for reporting. Someone
could have a legal reason to fear the report

Default Depositing money in overseas bank accounts

Good morning, friends!

My wife and I have family in China, often travel there, and
would like to deposit earnings regularly into our bank
accounts in China.

Could some kind soul give me the tax considerations, limits
and any other legalities of this?

We are currently contemplating two separate deposits that
would come to some $15,000. A $10k threshhold sticks in my
mind. Does it exist? Is the limit PER DEPOSIT?

Many thanks for any guidance in this important chore.

RR
