Primary Stakeholders: The primary stakeholders for this IRM Small Business/Self-Employed (SBSE) Program Goals: Data Conversion Operations Data Entry Clerks to electronically file Form 8300 into the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) using Bank Security Act (BSA) E-Filing System. 3.11.250.2 (01-01-2023) Background The purpose of Receipt & Control Operations Batching Clerks is to batch received Form 8300 for BSA E-filing by Data Conversion Operations Data Entry Clerks. The purpose of Data Conversion Operations Data Entry Clerks is to: Review Form 8300 document for conditions that can cause the form to be rejected from being E-filed. BSA E-file Form 8300 documents do not meet E-filing rejection conditions into the BSA E-filing system for submission. This Internal Revenue Manual (IRM) is the main source of information for receiving, batching, E-filing and trans shipping received Form 8300 back to Small Business/Self Employed Examination Operations Specialty Examination BSA Examination function. The Form 8300 is BSA E-filed at Kansas City Submission Processing Center (KCSPC). 3.11.250.3 (12-13-2024) Authority Section 6050I (26 United States Code (U.S.C.) 6050I) and 31 U.S.C. 5331 require that any person in a trade or business who receives more than $10,000 in cash in a single transaction or in related transactions must file Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business. The Form 8300 is a “dual purpose” report. Information is reported to both the Internal Revenue Service and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by use of one report. Effective January 1, 2024, a trade or business must electronically file (e-file) Forms 8300 if they are required to e-file other information returns, such as Forms 1099 series and Forms W-2. A trade or business must e-file their Forms 8300 if they are required to file at least 10 information returns of one or more type(s) other than Form 8300 during a calendar year. A trade or business may file a request for a waiver from filing information returns electronically due to undue hardship. If a waiver is granted, the trade or business may file paper Forms 8300 for the duration of the calendar year. 3.11.250.4 (01-01-2021) Responsibilities The Director for Kansas City Submission Processing Center (KCSPC) is responsible for monitoring operational performance for the Submission Processing Center.

The Team Employees are responsible to follow the instructions contained in this IRM and maintain updated IRM procedures. 3.11.250.5 (12-13-2024) Program Management and Review System control reports: Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) publishes the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) – Trends, Tips & Issues periodically as a product of close collaboration between FinCEN's regulatory, law enforcement, and industry partners. It is intended to give meaningful information about the preparation, use, and value of Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) filed by financial institutions. Program Effectiveness: BSA E-Filing Supervisory Users have the option of tracking filing statuses, either by viewing the status of their own submissions or viewing the status of submissions from all of their organization’s users. It is important to note that status tracking does not allow any individual, Supervisory User or otherwise, to view the contents of a filing, only the status of that filing within BSA E-Filing. The BSA E-Filing System retains administrative data. Acknowledgement Data is retained 30 days after being opened or 60 days after being posted, whichever comes first. Alert Data is retained for 30 days after posting. Track Status Data is retained for 5 Years (1825 days) after achieving "Accepted" or "Rejected" status. Annual Review is performed by Federal Managers Financial Integrity Act (FMFIA) to ensure accuracy and promote consistent tax administration. 3.11.250.6 (01-01-2023) Program Controls Internal Systems that output to FinCEN and BSA E-Filing Compliant Data is a CTR system that is part of the overall customer account and transaction processing system(s). The systems automatically route CTR data to the Compliance Department, where staff can review the CTRs online and approve them for submission. Once approved, the internal system outputs all CTRs to a batch file that is already in the format required by FinCEN and BSA E-Filing. The batch file is submitted to BSA E-Filing once every 15 days and acknowledgements are routed back to the submitter. 3.11.250.7 (12-13-2024) Terms/Acronyms - Definitions The following table has a list of words which require interpretations: Word/Acronyms Definition Example of using a word that is open to interpretation.
