Irs Taxes On Retro For Compensation

Rate this question

Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

Best to you and family and remember to never take out 10k at once from bank as they tell IRS and then you have a problem and have to pay taxes on the 10k!! (9999.99 is ok not reported but 10000. is. I mean that is in one day)

Picked this up from rentalguys success story.

I am a bit concerned:

I took the six figure 16 year retro and deposited it into my bank in my name and left it there for 24 hours and then went back to the bank and the teller wrote a authorized check for the full amount in my husbands name.

This he took and paid off the mortgage.

Does this mean that now I will have to pay taxes on this money,

for the amt would be more than I have.

Thanks,

Betty

Rental is correct on the three teller rule, anytime that kind of money is moved or taken out of an account 3 tellers or a teller and the floor manager at the time need to sign off on it.

Funny story sort of: Years ago right about when I got back from Nam. My then steo father had an accident and he got a check from the insurance for ithink around $600 bucks to fix it. Well he goes to the bank the check was drawn on and the teller tells him she is going to have to have the manager sign off on the check He thought it was strange at the time but didn't say anything. She comes back after having sign by the branch manager no less. She begins to count out I think it was around $13,000 something and puts it in a sack and gives it to my step dad.

He comes out to the car were I was waiting and says come on lets go! He then says look and the money in the sack, well I looked and all the cold hard cash and said to him at the time what are you going to do? Well he said first lets get some beer then lets go get your mother.

He kept the money but the bank caught up to their mistake and he ended up having to pay back all the money above what the actual amount of the check was for!!

Tha is one of the reasons for the 3 teller rule but sometimes that does not work!!

Stillhere

Yes, the bank always catches up with you, but it sure is fun

when they make that mistake.

Thanks a bunch!

Seems to me like as long as the cash stays in the claimants name

there would never be the question of ANY tax (or other possible) problem.

Josephine,

Do not fret, your VA is non taxable, uncle george knows this as the bank deposit will show where it came from, yes the IRS was notified and they also know where it came from.

When you go to a bank and deposit 10k or more the bank will notify the IRS, this will give them grounds to start looking where this $$ came from if a pattern continues. I beleive this started during the early mob days during prohibition.

Do yourself a favor.....buy some gold and silver! The printing presses are in overdrive.

JR Reihs,

I am hoping the pattern will continue.

I am waiting to see what now they will do about the forgotten

unadjudicated claim back to 1992 for the headaches and the TDIU.

I am stepping in with a lawyer before my year is up to get rid of

that 10% rating for the first 5 years and the 30& and try to rid

myself of the 50%.

I should have been declared 70% with unemployable from 1992 to date.

Being that my NSC declares me unemployable to 1983 this is when they

should have declared the 100% rating.

I may be asking for a miracle.

I want to see where that denied due to excessive NSC Pension comes

into play. As I told Joey on the telephone, they may have denied

me due to excessive income, but not because they didn't declare

me unemployable due to the now service connected illness.

Thanks a bunch!

Betty

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
