According to IRS Publication 525, the Bible of finding out what is taxable and waht is not:
"Found property. If you find and keep property that does not belong to you that has been lost or abandoned (treasure-trove), it is taxable to you at its fair market value in the first year it is your undisputed possession." |

Don't mention it to anybody, least of all the tax office! If you are keeping it, which is probably illegal, then stick it in a box somewhere safe, and break out a couple of hundred at a time. Or stick it all on the lottery and hope your luck holds out again! |

Why claim it on your taxes? |
|
wwe rules!!!!!!
|
keep it or turn it in to the police and list yourself as anonymous so u don't have anything to do with it |
|
Inquiring minds wanna know......
 |
You should invest it, start your own business with it. I started my business with just 2000. |

umm you wouldn't and don't deposit all of it at once cause anything over $10 grand the IRS gets told about on a form - if you are keeping stolen money - you wouldn't then do the honest things and claim it on your taxes
i think u are lying and that is mean :o ( |

Technically, you have stolen it. You need to take it to the police and if they don't find the owner or that it needs to be used as evidence, then you should be able to keep it after 30 days. I wouldn't go around advertising it if you don't want officers showing up on your doorstep because it isnt technically yours just because you found it. Here's hoping they don't find the rightful owner and you are 14 k richer in 30 days! |

I think you should be more concerned about your safety for some person to leave a pillow case with 14 grand in it, who knows what they'd do to get it back. |

Rent a safe deposit box at the bank and put the cash in the box and only carry about two hundred dollars with you at a time and break down the bills into something smaller.Do not report this too anyone and shut your mouth about it. |

you have to give it to the police, in 20 days if no one proves its theirs then you keep it. You dont have to write it on taxes. if you spend it before allowing the police to do the 20 day thing you are considered a fellon. And you didnt find any money |

Take it out of the pillow case and put it under your mattress. |

If you found it and are keeping it you don't need to claim it on your taxes, count your blessing and don't be greedy. Just for the simple fact that you aren't doing the right thing by keepin it. |

You shoud report it to the police, it could belong to someone who really needs it. |

Uh. Don't. You may want to consider turning the cash over to the local authorities. Last thing you want to do is have a few of those dollars on you when you go through the latest airport or public building security screener. A little residue of a controlled substance and you will be the recipient of an all expense paid cavity search. |

Claim it?
Those were your taxes. I got them back, put them in a pillowcase, and stuck it behind McDonalds for you.
And I won't do it for you a second time. |

CALL THE IRS................. |

Give me 50% & I will tell you.
In all seriousness....don't claim it? Why the heck would ya? Consider it a gift from God. God didn't want you to claim it on your taxes. |
