Received a 1099 INT letter from IRS from unknown business. Payers EIN was not a legit company after my research. Do I still have to file the document with my taxes?

From the IRS?  The IRS paid interest on refunds last year because they took so long to send it.

IRS interest 1099 form probably only says 1099 (rev. 10-2013 or 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.  Enter it manually and just enter IRS for the payer.  Don't enter any other info like the address or a EIN.

Enter a 1099-Int  under

Federal on left

Wages & Income at top

Don't enter a bank or broker name and don't try to import it.  At the bottom pick -  Change How I enter my Form

Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself
