8852 Form PDF Details and Instructions

The 8852 form, officially titled the Currency Transaction Report by Casinos - Nevada, was introduced for transactions after April 30, 1997. The Department of the Treasury and the IRS created the 8852 form to combat money laundering in Nevada's gaming industry. Nevada casinos must file it to comply with federal anti-money laundering regulations. The form applies to all reportable cash transactions at Nevada gaming establishments.

Casinos must file the 8852 form for any single cash transaction over $10,000. Multiple transactions within a 24-hour period that total $10,000 also require reporting. The 8852 form covers cash inflows like chip purchases and cash outflows like jackpot payments. Foreign currency transactions must also be reported. Patron identity must be verified using a driver's license, passport, or alien registration card.

Completed 8852 forms are sent to the IRS Detroit Computing Center. Penalties apply for late or inaccurate filings. Casinos may submit amendments or supplemental reports for corrections. For related compliance forms, see our Anti-Money Laundering Form. You may also need a Casino Win/Loss Statement for your records. For other IRS forms, visit our IRS Form 8853 page.

Paperwork Reduction Act Notice.—

The requested information is useful in criminal, tax, and regulatory investigations and proceedings. Pursuant to Nevada Gaming Commission Regulation 6A (Reg. 6A), Nevada casinos classified as “6A licensees” are required to provide the requested information. Reg. 6A is administered by the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission. Nevada casinos comply with Reg. 6A in lieu of 31 U.S.C. 5313 and 31 CFR Part 103 based upon an exemption granted to the state of Nevada by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

You are not required to provide the requested information unless the form displays a valid OMB number. The time needed to complete this form will vary depending on individual circumstances. The estimated average time is 19 minutes. If you have comments concerning the accuracy of this time estimate or suggestions to improve this form, you may write to the Tax Forms Committee, Western Area Distribution Center, Rancho Cordova, CA 95743-0001. Do not send a completed form to this address. Instead, see When and Where to File below.

General Instructions

Form 8852, Currency Transaction Report by Casinos-Nevada (CTRC-N).—Use the May 1997 version of Form 8852 for reportable transactions occurring after April 30, 1997. Use the Nevada Gaming Control Board Currency Transaction Report and Currency Transaction Incident Report for reportable transactions occurring before May 1, 1997.

Who Must File.—Any Nevada casino that qualifies as a 6A licensee pursuant to Reg. 6A; generally, casinos with greater than $10,000,000 in annual gross gaming revenue and with over $2,000,000 of table games statistical win.

Exceptions.—Certain persons are not considered patrons pursuant to Reg. 6A. Transactions with these persons are not reportable. See Reg. 6A for details.

Identification Requirements.—Before completing a reportable transaction with a patron, a 6A licensee must obtain a valid, reliable identification credential from the patron. See Reg. 6A for details.

What To File.—A 6A licensee must file Form 8852 for a reportable transaction with a patron as outlined in Reg. 6A. A

reportable transaction is a transaction that involves more than $10,000 in cash. Also, smaller transactions occurring within a designated 24-hour period that aggregate to more than $10,000 in cash are reportable if the transactions are the same type transactions within the same monitoring area or if different type transactions occur within the same visit at one location. Do not use Form 8852 to report receipts of cash in excess of $10,000 that occur at non-gaming areas; instead use Form 8300, Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business.

When and Where To File.—File each Form 8852 by the 15th calendar day after the day of the transaction with the:

IRS Detroit Computing Center

Form 8852 (5-97)

a Form 8852 for suspicious transactions of $10,000 or less. When a suspicious transaction requires immediate attention, contact the Nevada Gaming Control Board.

Definitions.—Certain terms, such as the terms “patron,” “designated

24-hour period,” “same type transactions” and “6A licensee,” are defined in Reg. 6A.

Penalties.—Civil and/or criminal penalties may be assessed for failure to comply with Reg. 6A. See Nevada Revised Statutes 463.125, 463.360 and 207.195.
