Not true

He might have said that because if you have a significant sum of money in your SAVING account then you generate some interest. Thats like investing and you have to report it to IRS while filing tax, and F1 students cannot invest in any way. But it is so insignificant that IRS won't be after you for your 10 bucks of interest.

There is no limitation on how much money you can put in your savings account. However, if you do certain activities like deposit more than 10,000 dollars at any one transaction in your bank, you will be put in security check by the feds for money laundring. Banks will be questioned by the feds for the source of income. Just try not to deposit a lot of money at one time. Also, if you do not perform any activities in your bank, if your bank account stays idel or has no transaction for past 6 months it will be put on temporary hold and you will need to contact your bank, in case that happens.
