when the irs wants to find your bank account(s) they mail a court order to every bank within xxx miles from your last known residences demanding them to release information about you if they have any. so if you have some accounts with banks further away, not necessarily popular ones, that would be more stealthy. if you continue to open and close accounts with the same bank you may be asking for problems. i believe most banks only report to chex systems when you've left an account in negative or poor standing in some way. other than chex and a few other similar credit reporting agencys i don't know if any national list you go on when you open an account. i don't think banks share that kind of information with the government unless ordered by law. please fill me in if anyone knows more about this system.
