well it’s just a checking account that I have to pay interest on to maintain it…would it have to get reported ?
do banks report checking account balance / information to the irs? can any institution view the amount in it?

Banks are required to report all interest bearing accounts for tax purposes. Non interest bearing accounts are not reported.

If you make more than $10 in interest on the account, then it is reported to the IRS and you have to claim that on your taxes. If you withdrawal or deposit more than $10,000 in cash then the bank will report it to the IRS. Other than that, your information is not reported to the IRS.
Without a court order, no one can view any information pertaining to your bank account.
