Form 8300 — Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business

This skill produces an audit-grade draft of Form 8300 from the user's transaction facts. It walks through the cash definition, applies the aggregation rules, fills Parts I–IV, validates the result, and emits a deliverable the user can transcribe into the FinCEN BSA E-Filing System with confidence.

The form itself is short (two pages, four parts). The judgment is in whether the threshold was actually crossed and what counts as cash. This skill optimizes for the latter — the agent should ask, not guess.
