Yes, it is possible. If a deposit of over $5000 happens in an account, the bank has to intimate the Government & the IRS. The IRS can then use this information to verify it the account holder has enough earning potential to match the deposits on his/her account. If they feel there is any inconsistency between the earning & the cash held in the account, they can investigate the person to find if he/she is evading tax.

If you withdraw a large sum of money from the bank do they give it to you in cash?

They do if you want it that way, but depending on what you mean by "large", you may have to give the bank notice so they will have the cash on hand. Many of the smaller banks and bank branches do not keep as much cash in the vault as the larger banks do. And, unless banking regulations have changed since I worked in banking, if you make a single cash withdrawal or a cash deposit of more than $10,000 (unless you are making a transaction for a business, such as a grocery store), they have to fill out a form for the IRS.

What is the maximum allowable amount of a cashiers check without the IRS being notified?

Banks are supposed to file a Cash Transaction Report (CTR) for CASH transactions in amounts over $10,000. The key is CASH. The purpose is to track potentially unreported income. If the money for the check comes out of funds already on deposit at the bank, a CTR is not "required". That does not mean that a teller can not file a CTR in that case, but it is not required.

Does IRS get involved for 20000 cashiers check?

Always assume the government is aware one way or another of very large transactions like that. Banks must report any deposits larger than $10,000 to the IRS. --------------- Actually, the govt is not involved when money can be traced from one account to another, as is the case with checks and wire transfers. Banks are required to notify the govt (though they are not required to tell the banking customer) when there is a CASH deposit of $10,000 or more. Even if the cash deposited takes place over a couple/few days, they are supposed to notify the government. That being said, I'm not sure about cashier checks and/or money orders since these can be purchased with cash (?).
