I'm trying to think of a way to "test" this, like set up a couple of accounts and programmatically transfer money back and forth. I imagine most banks/processors have some sort of mechanism to limit transactions that would be considered suspect (such as automated back-and-forth transfers). But the lower limit's not a problem -- by repeating the transaction, you'd be contributing to the limit of $/year, even with a miniscule amount.

The bank doesnt report you. It is up to you to report yourself as receiving a gift. The entire US tax system works on self reporting and the fact that during audits if you have wilfully lied you will go to jail. So you can transfer some amount a million time and then just say you transferred it once and the IRS will probably never even look into it.

The bank will mandatorily report the transaction if it is $10k or greater (or a series of transactions constructed to fall under the $10k limit).
