where on the Turbo tax standard can you report a 1099-int from the IRS for Total Interest Paid or Credited? I can't find anywhere it will allow me to enter this info.

You will enter your Form 1099-INT into TurboTax in the "Wages and Income" section under "Interest and Dividends" . It will be the same as entering a 1099-INT issued by a private payer.

 

This interest is taxable on both your state and federal tax returns.

 

You can enter your Form 1099-INT information using the steps below.

  1. Open/continue your return
  2. Click on "Search

  4. Select "Jump to 1099-INT"
  5. It will ask, "Did you have investment income in 2024?" Select "Yes"
  6. Select "Continue"
  7. Select "Skip Import" in TurboTax Desktop
  8. You will Select your investment type which is "Interest", the box will turn green when you click on it
  9. You will "Continue"
  10. Then you will see the screen "Let's get the info from your 1099-INT"
  11. You will type in the information from your Form 1099-INT on that page.
