I have a letter addressed to me and my husband that says "report this as income on your tax return'. It shows an amount of total interest paid or credited by the irs?

If it is interest simply enter it as such using the "Interest on Form 1099-INT". Don't worry about entering it "as if" you received a W-2 when you didn't. If you look at Schedule B
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1099b.pdf
you'll see that there's nothing there that states "this income was reported on a 1099-INT" and "this income was not reported on a 1099-INT." It just lists payee and amount.
