Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, Treasury Bills (or T-Bills for short) are a short-term financial instrument that are issued by the Department of Treasury.

If you received interest income from a T-Bill, but didn't receive a Form 1099-INT, you can report the interest as follows:

Your "Received from" in TurboTax will be the U.S. Department of Treasury.

When you enter your "Received From" information it will look like this:

 

 

Your next screen will look like this:

 

 

Note: 

You will only receive a 1099 for your T-Bill:

• If you cashed a savings bond in 2022.
• If you owned a marketable security which earned interest in 2022.

You will not receive a 1099 if you only purchased a savings bond and did not cash it.

 

 The interest income received in a year is generally reported on a Form 1099-INT.  If you received a Form 1099-INT for your Treasury Bill, Box 3 "Interest on U.S. Savings Bonds and Treasury obligations",  should have been completed.

 

If you have received a Form 1099 for your Treasury Bill, you should enter it as shown.
