So essentially, the IRS is going to get what it's always desired, a permanent finger in the wallet of every person who actually earns a living. Fantastic, looking forward to the CRA pulling the same stunt down the road.

a permanent finger in the wallet of every person who actually earns a living.

The IRS, for years, has known of any time a direct deposit of $1000 is made to y(our) bank account(s). It is checked to see if you paid your taxes on it. And since it's a paycheck, it's linked to your tax id number. The IRS, per-pay-check, already know what you are getting, even it's $442. You pay taxes on that shit son!

What this law does is lower that bracket to include more people in flagging transactions. You know the kind, Billionaires that only work with $600 increments to launder hundreds of millions(/s)

So, let’s say you get paid biweekly. When you get paid, you deposit your paycheck in your bank account (either by Direct Deposit or going old-school with a paper check). Well, guess what? If you make a rather modest amount more than minimum wage then that deposit, even if the balance is zero on the day you make it, will put you over that $600 mark. That means the IRS would now have access to every transaction you make.

Every transaction. Every purchase you make using a debit card. Every check you write (or have the bank make if you use online banking). Every electronic funds transfer. All of it.

IF only there was some way to not have purchase details show up on a bank statement.

I was replying more so to the top half of your comment about checks being deposited greater than $1000

Like I said, all this does is make poorer people targeted as well. If it bothers you, which it bothers me, become an active activist and educate people in the public sphere about your concerns. Just make sure you don't embellish or use opinion.

Yes, if we live in the same country, it applies to both of us, this is why I wrote it the way I did.

So what happens if one opens hundreds of bank accounts below $600?

I wish he had included the actual wording from the bill, but it looks like any financial transaction of any kind over $600 triggers the audit limit.

It's not $600 transactions. It's all transactions on any account with over $600 in it. That's a world of difference.
