Thanks, but most of the money isn't interest, it's labeled as a refund.
You just report the interest, not the refund part.
Thanks, but most of the money isn't interest, it's labeled as a refund. So, it should be a Federal Refund or, perhaps, Other Income, but TT doesn't include a Federal Refund as an example of Other Income.
Ah, that is very helpful. Thanks!
I'm not sure why you are stuck. Do you know how much is the interest? Just enter the interest part. You do not enter a federal refund anywhere. Interest goes under Interest like bank interest.
