My son bought an almost brand new car which sells for $50,000 at $25,000 was not required the info this guys is asking you, of course Title 31 came in much later. Title 31 took effect July 1, 2007 the car was bought in April 2007.

For less than $3,000 no way but maybe yes for $3,000.01 required under Title 31, first trasaction you can refuse but the second and after the third $3,000 vendor will really reguire you in order for them to Log you in in their daily report to the IRS. In this scenario it all depends on the vendors, some vendor (casino) cut off amount is $3,000.01.

IRS is very serious on the enforcement - one casino in Las Vegas, Nevada was fined by the "million $$$$$

Good luck.
