Q : “How would you integrate this money (750k) into your life without raising red flags?”Easy :Buy gas , groceries , cat food and everything else you usually do : except now you pay cash instead of using checks & credit cards.Enjoy your favorite restaurant instead of your local diner or deli for that evening meal. Be a generous tipper. Enjoy the extra ‘perks’ that come with being a regular customer.Buy a crapload of Pennsylvania lottery tickets !Sure - you get to pay taxes on any that are big winners : but that’s legal income. No red flags.Just don’t buy those tickets all at once, or in the same place.Got a casino nearby? You might try to get a piece of the action.Best case : Same as #3Worst case : you lose a few grand, but tell everyone you know that you won big ! That justifies that ‘nice guy’ image of you when you pick up the tab for the neighborhood block party. No eyebrows raised when that new car pops up in your driveway either. (see # 7)Spread the wealth. Got kids that could use a little help with bills?Got a couple of long time friends who could use a vacation?Tell them you called in an old IOU from someone who owed you big time !... add the hint that it’s nobody’s business where they got the money.Add $100 a month to your mortgage payment. It makes a big difference in the long run and will hardly make a ripple to the tax man.Ditto if you want to start an IRA through your local bank. Make that payment at the same time your paycheck hits your savings account.Get that newer model car that you’ve been putting off until your kids got out of high school. Make sure you finance it through the dealer.Might take three years to eat up some Franklins, by paying that bill with postal money orders (!), but it’s just like a million other folks do all the time.Burn up 10 % of your IRS reported income with charitable donations .Check out your local Better Business Bureau or Charities.com for legitimate & local groups - where you can walk in & hand them cash. Legal as heck and it reduces your taxable income base on your 1040.I never heard of a church or school that refused to accept a cash donation from a concerned citizen. … and they’ll always give you a receipt if you ask - it won’t say ‘cash’ or ‘card’ or ‘check’.10% is NOT an unusual amount when you consider some religious orders require that ‘tithe’ from members. No red flags there.It SHOULD take a few years to burn through the bankroll but if you don’t go crazy, and remember to spread that cash around in small, even, doses, the red flags should be seen only on a construction site in Mechanicsburgh, Pa.

Two ways:You report them. When you fill out your annual taxes, there's a place to report IRA contributions;Your broker reports them. When you open an IRA account, let's say at TD Ameritrade or vanguard or wherever, when you contribute to the account, you have to tell them how much and for which tax year. That then gets transmitted along.Unlike income, you WANT to report your IRA contribution, so you don't get taxed on it's growth.

Roth IRA contributions are not reported on your return. The custodian files a Form 5498 with the IRS reporting the contributions received. This form is usually filed in late April since IRA contributions can be made up to the April 15th tax filing deadline (April 18th 2017 this year).You have until the due date of your tax return to remove excess IRA contributions. After this date, a 6% excise tax is due by filing Form 5329 with your next years’s tax return.
