There was no 1099 prefix or suffix on the form the IRS sent stating the taxable interest income paid by the IRS. I need where on my form I need to enter the interest to my tax form?
The IRS took so long last year to pay refunds they paid interest on it.
Enter interest from the IRS like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1. Enter it manually and just enter IRS for the payer. Don't enter any other info like the address or a EIN.
Enter a 1099-Int under
Federal on left
Wages & Income at top
Interest and Dividends
Interest on 1099INT - Click the Start or Revisit button
Don't enter a bank or broker name and don't try to import it. At the bottom pick - Change How I enter my Form
Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself
It is just like entering bank interest ... payer is the IRS and enter the amount. Skip any "import" and choose the option to enter the interest yourself.
