When does a bank have to report an excess cash deposit or string of deposits? If a string of $8,000 deposits is made in three weeks, will it be reported?

First, take a look at the article What Your Bank REALLY Tells the IRS. Banks are also required to report suspicious customer activity. If your series of $8,000 cash deposits fits into your expected deposit pattern (possible for a business; very unlikely for an individual), it would be very unlikely for your bank to be suspicious. If it doesn't fit an expected pattern and the bank can't determine that the transactions make sense after a more detailed review (which might involve asking you about the deposits), it's possible that the bank might file a report, but it will not, because it legally cannot, inform you whether such a report is filed.
