Spend cash before filing?

[bkbkbk]

Should I plan to spend all my cash but an exempted amount right before filing? Cash includes hands-on cash, checking/savings account, and taxable brokerage account. As long I spend the cash on non-luxuries and have it documented by receipts or checking account statements, it should be ok, right?

I don't have a house, so what can I spend cash on? I can think of essentials like rent, groceries, gas, bk lawyer fees, ... And I suppose I can spend undocumented cash on whatever I want.

You can send it to me. HAHA! Just kidding. Sounds like you've got it covered. Of course, it may look suspicious if you empty your bank accounts and all right before filing. Nothing they can do though... as long as you have used it on necessities.
