What is it you need to know?   Did you review the comments in this thread?  Is your situation the same or different?

Did you receive interest payments from Bank of America during 2020?

In general, if your bank interest is less than $10, then a financial institution is not required to provide you a 1099-INT.  But even then you are still required to report the interest.   If you received interest from Bank of America, but don't know the amount to enter, or if you think you "should" have received a 1099-INT from Bank of America but didn't, then you'll need to speak to your bank's customer service for info.

Turbo Tax seems not to be any help on this problem also theydo not honor 2021-2022 free filing for 

senior Citizens to file it is quoted for a simple tax form $59.00.

There is no discount for Senior Citizens using TurboTax.

The TurboTax Free online edition is for very simple tax returns that do not require any other form or schedule other than the Form 1040.  If your tax data requires entry on any other form or schedule then you must upgrade to the Deluxe edition or higher.

If you have not paid for the online edition you are using, have not filed your tax return or registered the Free edition, then you can clear your return and start over with a lower priced edition. Click on Tax Tools on the left side of the program screen while working on the 2020 online tax return. Click on Clear & Start Over.

How do I report less $10 in TurboTax Desktop?

I'll provide an image below.   You enter the small interest "as though" you got it on a 1099-INT even if you didn't.

• Federal Taxes tab.   (or Personal tab in Home and Business)
• Subtab Wages & Income.
• Blue button:  "I'll choose what I work on."
• On Your 2020 Income Summary screen, scroll down to Interest and Dividends.
• For topic "Interest on 1099-INT" click the Start or Update button.
• If asked how you want to enter it, choose "I'll type it in myself."
• Then you should get a screen like the image below.
• After entering the institution name and interest (Box 1), continue on answering any screens until you come to an Interest summary screen.  Verify all is correct there, and if so, click DONE to finish that topic.
