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?

[greenmakesmemean]

the letter does not state what the credit or interest paid was for. it is not on a w2, just a letter. Where do i add this as income on turbo tax?

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.
