the 1099-INT is for 2022, but I have to report the savings bond interest on amended 2020 return.
No. You enter the amount you received in 2022 for those bonds on your 2022 tax return. That is the year you received the income and that is the year that you enter it for.
No, as xmasbaby0 posted, you need to report your 2022 1099-INT on your 2022 tax return. Taxable income is reported in the year received.
To enter your 1099-INT in TurboTax you can follow these steps:
I received a 1099-INT from my bank for 2023 showing my checking account interest in Box 1 and the U.S. Savings Bond interest I received in Box 3. The bonds were issued in 1986 so the interest is over $5,000. I correctly entered the 1099-INT because I can see it on the TurboTax Federal Worksheet. My problem is that my TurboTax Montana State Tax Return is showing the same “total taxable interest” as my Federal return but U.S. Series EE Savings Bond interest is state tax free. How do I fix this since TurboTax didn’t reduce my “total taxable interest” by $5,000? Thanks for your help! 🙏🏽
Yes, you are correct, the US savings bond interest should not be taxed to Montana (MO). The US bond interest will be listed under 'Subtractions'.
Review the income for interest and, if applicable, dividends. On the 'Your Montana Tax Return Summary' you are able to see the removal of the US Bond interest. TurboTax does this automatically without any intervention on your part. When you finish walking through the return you can see the 'Plus: Montana Additions' and 'Less: Montana Subtractions'. In my scenario I had $100 in US Bond interest (Box 3, Form 1099-INT) and $25 of tax exempt interest that was not from Montana. See the image below to review the summary:
