In-Person Cash payments

Payers must present government identification (Driver’s License, State Issued ID, or Passport) when making in-person cash payments at a payment center.

Transactions occurring up to a rolling 12-month period are considered related and reportable if the recipient knows (or has reason to know) that each transaction is one of a series of connected transactions.  

Form 8300 is due the 15th day after the date on which the cash was received. CLU must provide a written statement to each person named on a required Form 8300 on or before January 31 of the following calendar year in which the cash is received. The Cashiers’ Office issues Form 8300. 

For specific form information, contact Student Accounts. 

Please refer to IRS Publication 1544, the most recent Form 8300, and the IRS Form 8300 FAQ  page  for information on reportable transactions.

Pagos en efectivo en persona

Los pagadores deben presentar una identificación del gobierno (licencia de conducir, identificación emitida por el estado o pasaporte) al realizar pagos en efectivo en persona en un centro de pago.

Las transacciones que ocurren hasta un período continuo de 12 meses se consideran relacionadas y notificables si el destinatario sabe (o tiene motivos para saber) que cada transacción es una de una serie de transacciones conectadas.

El formulario 8300 vence el día 15 después de la fecha en que se recibió el efectivo. CLU debe proporcionar una declaración por escrito a cada persona nombrada en un Formulario 8300 requerido antes del 31 de enero del siguiente año calendario en el que se recibe el efectivo. La Oficina de Cajas emite el Formulario 8300.

Para obtener información específica sobre el formulario, comuníquese con Cuentas de estudiantes.
