Revised Currency Transaction Report (IRS
Form 4789)
|
The Internal Revenue Service has revised its
Currency Transaction Report (CTR) form that banks and other institutions are
required to use to help law enforcement agencies detect and prevent money laundering
and other illegal activities. The revised form is now available for distribution;
however, banks may not begin using the new form until October 1, 1995. The
attached advance copy may only be used for training purposes, so bank employees can
become familiar with differences between the old and new forms prior to the
effective date.
The new form may be ordered without charge
by calling the IRS Forms Distribution Center at 1-800-829-3676. Simply
follow the voice prompts, press Option #1 (for ordering blank forms) and
make your request by form number (IRS Form 4789). Orders should be placed in
time to allow for delivery prior to the effective date. Questions concerning
the new forms should be directed to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network
(FinCEN) at 1-800-949-2732.
