I received a 1099int from the IRS. I don't have investments so I don't know why I received it. I have no idea what to enter on the box that says "received from."

[bertsche4]

It says "this is usually your financial institution."

Enter the IRS as the Payee for the Form 1099-INT.  Enter in box 1 the amount of interest received.

There were so many delayed refunds for 2020 tax refunds that the IRS paid interest.

[VolvoGirl]

IRS interest 1099 form probably only says 1099 (rev. 9-07) on it.  The IRS EIN # on  it is 38-1798424.

You shouldn't need to enter an EIN.  Just enter a name like US Treasury or IRS.

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

My refund wasn't really delayed compared to past years. I don't have savings bonds or investments. Do I put the IRS as the "received from" box?

[HelenC12]

Yes, enter that you received the taxable interest from the IRS. Enter your interest in Box 1. For additional information see Where do I enter Form 1099-INT?
