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.

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.
Thank you very much!! I thought it was bad news lol I really appreciate it!!
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

I believe IRS made a miatake. I paid IRS on August 27,2020 A Chk for $80.00 for the Amount they said I owed from Tax I owed $9,158.00 to what I paid$9,079.00 previously failure to pay penalty.......0.79 interest charges of 0.21 = Amount Due $80.00
So Why is IRS now writing me and saying I am to report $120.59 as interest income? When in reality I paid the IRS a total of $ !,458.00 for Federal Taxes in the yr. 2020
I didn't receive a refund from my Federal Taxes filed in the yr 2020.
According to this IRS update as of April 16th:
The IRS is now opening mail within normal timeframes. The IRS has also made significant progress in processing prior year returns. As of April 9, 2021, we had 1.5 million individual tax returns received prior to 2021 in the processing pipeline. Including current year returns, as of April 9, 2021, we had 16.2 million unprocessed individual returns in the pipeline. Unprocessed returns include those requiring correction to the Recovery Rebate Credit amount or validation of 2019 income used to figure the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Advance Child Tax Credit (ACTC). This work does not require us to correspond with taxpayers but does require special handling by an IRS employee so, in these instances, it is taking the IRS more than 21 days to issue any related refund. If, as a result, a correction is made to any RRC, EITC or ACTC claimed on the return, the IRS will send taxpayers an explanation. Taxpayers are encouraged to continue to check Where’s My Refund? for their personalized refund status and can review Tax Season Refund Frequently Asked Questions.
How long you may have to wait: The IRS understands the importance of timely processing of tax returns and refund issuance. We are processing returns received over the summer and fall in 2020 due to the extended July 15, 2020 tax filing due date. While the majority of 2019 refund returns have been processed, in some cases, we are processing tax returns that were mailed with a payment even though payment associated with these returns have been processed by the IRS. However, we are rerouting tax returns and taxpayer correspondence from locations that are behind to locations where more staff is available, and we are taking other actions to minimize any delays. Tax returns are opened in the order received. As the return is processed, it may be delayed because it has a mistake including errors concerning the Recovery Rebate Credit, is missing information, or there is suspected identity theft or fraud. If we can fix it without contacting you, we will. If we need more information or need you to verify that it was you who sent the tax return, we will write you a letter. The resolution of these issues depends on how quickly and accurately you respond, and the ability of IRS staff trained and working under social distancing requirements to complete the processing of your return.
What you should do: If you filed electronically and received an acknowledgement, you do not need to take any further action other than promptly responding to any requests for information. If you filed on paper, check Where’s my refund? If it tells you we have received your return or are processing or reviewing it, we are processing your return, but it may be under review. We’re working hard to get through the backlog. Please don’t file a second tax return or contact the IRS about the status of your return.

What do I do if I received the letter from the IRS saying they paid me taxable interest after I already e filed my return
@Jokerzz74 Interest income is taxable, even if it is from the IRS. You should amend your tax return to add the interest income. You will see an option to amend your tax return when you log into your program, on your Tax Home page, under Your tax returns and documents. The option to amend is not yet available in TurboTax, but should be soon.
Also, if you don't amend your return, the IRS may simply send you an invoice for the additional taxes due if and when they discover the missing income.
Thank you for your answer ThomasM125. When you say turbotax should have the ability to amend soon; do you have an approximation of when
1040X Amend should be March 17, 2022 see this list

@Jokerzz74 I contacted irs today and she said I should wait for it to process before sending an amendment or call them on 3/1 and they can add it. Sending in an amendment now can cause delay in refund.
