Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
I am an adult entertainer in a cash business. I keep record of all my earnings and file my taxes. But the problems is with the bank. Cash transactions even in what I consider to be small amounts seem to trigger some suspicion like I have to fill out special forms. People told me it's SAR reports. I don't want to trigger unnecessary auditis or suspicions because it would be annoying. But I am legitimate and should not feel uncomfortable putting my own hard-earned cash in my own account (putting it in a personal checking account right now because I am sole proprietor). How do other cash businesses put cash in the bank without triggering annoying attention? Or they just do it because who cares? Who would be the best professional to ask about this kind of advice? Attorney, CPA, or banker? Thank you so much.

Without knowing more about your business and what you consider small amounts of money I cannot help you. You may call me at 415-336-7534 and I will either try to help you on the phone or set up an appointment to see you.
SARs are filled out by institutions when there us suspicious activity. The existence is not releaseable to you...i wonder if it is just this one bank...
It may help you if you opened a business account and properly registered a DBA. That may alleviate suspicion, rather than using a personal account.
