Yes.  This is interest the IRS paid you on the refund that was paid to you late. Include this with other interest income on your tax return under Form 1099-INT.

  • Select Federal in the black navigation panel on the left
  • In the search box type 1099int > jump to 1099int
  • Continue to enter your interest income even if you don't have the actual Form 1099-INT.

Yes,  this is income to you and you would enter it in TurboTax same as any other 1099-INT would be entered. 

 

The Payer would be the "IRS"

 

In the search box in TurboTax enter 1099int and then "Jump to" 1099int to enter the information.

What dose it mean when you get a letter saying total interest paid or credited this is not a bill. 1099-INT? What if I already filled?

@mendozaalicia6 the link below provides detailed information surrounding form 1099-INT; if you already filed and subsequently need to report interest paid, you may need to amend your tax return.

Hi - I had the same problem. There doesn't seem to be an entry for "IRS" when I search in the 1099-INT box.
What should I do now?

I need some help ..I received a 1099 int from Irs, I have looked for the 1099 int form online and I see totally different from the one I received, this is like a shorter version and the boxes are not listed. I see the amount of money in a box that says (total interest paid or credited). which box number would this correspond to? to number 1?  Thank You

Yes.  Enter interest from the IRS like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1.
