Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Since the Bond Premium in Box 10 is greater than the interest in Box 2 (Form 1099-OID), then you should leave Box 10 blank and keep your form with your tax files for future use.  When the bond is redeemed, for tax purposes will be a sale, you will adjust your cost basis of the bond if necessary before reporting the sale on your tax return.

 

You can continue with the 1099-INT entry if you wish.  I tested the entry using the actual 1099-OID entry without errors by leaving out the Bond Premium from tax exempt obligations.  You can use the link below if you want to change your entry.

The amount may be a deduction on Schedule A if you itemize your deductions. Miscellaneous Deductions not subject to 2% AGI.

  1. Select Deductions & Credits > Scroll to Other Deductions and Credits > Select Show More > Select Other Deductible Expenses
  2. Start or Revisit > Click No > Click No > Click Yes to the screen 'Did you have any of these other expenses?'
  3. Enter your Bond Premium in excess of the OID interest income
  4. See the image below.
