yep, i read they also send that report to homeland security 
as you could be funneling terrorist money........
The money is spent before it comes in...She thinks about money and it evaporates. She's that good. 
How could she afford that ring plus? She received large checks. Some were 4 figures, some were 5 figures, and some were 6 figures to the left of the decimal. When the banks saw the 5 & 6 figures, they got amnesia. Their memories quickly came back though as they were burned AGAIN.
I am going to let her flounder through the IRS thing on her own unless she specifically asks me for help.
Like I mentioned earlier, she only contacts me re: money. 
So much for being friends, huh? A friendship is giving and taking on both sides. Maybe things will change in the future, but for now, it's not my problem.
** When we bought the family car, we paid cash. I think $1500 went on a credit card, the rest was a personal check. They called and verified funds. By choice, I brought bank statements to prove that the money was mine for several months before. But they never sent me a form saying they reported the purchase to the IRS and it was more than 10k. Would a car dealership send that form to the IRS and the customer as well?**
>edited to add comment about purchasing car<
Thanks laz98! I reported the car purchase anyways - it was a hybrid so their was a tiny tax credit. 
all 3 of you share one car??? that sounds challenging! but then i guess a hybrid (with presumably good mileage) is a great choice for you 
lol - car is barely 3 yrs old (then subtract a few " in the shop spa" months from being rear-ended) and we have nearly 100k miles on it. Yeah, it is tough. The car has become a member of the family. We actually include it in our schedule, to ensure it get's mini spa days for maintenance. The car has it's own bank account (to pay for gas and to pay for maintenance). The car has it's own cc for charges. It eats well, bathes regularly, and changes it's innards often. It's like having another teenager!
We love our car and take good care of it. And we walk, carpool, and take public transportation to make it all work.
