Letter from IRS regarding taxabel interest paid

[flyerii]

I received a letter from the IRS with this:  "THIS IS NOT A TAX BILL.  It shows the taxable interest paid to during the calendar year by the Internal Revenue Service.  If you are required to file a tax return, report this interest as income on your return ..."

This feels like a 1099-INT, but it is not an actual 1099-INT.  Where should I report this?  1099-INT, with the amount "Total Interest Paid or Credited" as Box 1?

Report like a 1099-INT with IRS as payer.

Yes, enter it like a 1099-INT.   Received from the IRS and the amount in Box 1.    You do not need the actual 1099-INT to report your interest income.

It is clear how to report the taxable INTEREST.

But
Where is the CREDIT claimed?

[DianeW777]

Report it as though it was received on a 1099-INT.  You simply put IRS or Department of the Treasury as the payer and enter your interest amount. Nothing else is needed.

• Where do I enter Form 1099-INT (IRS letter)?
