Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As I understand your question.  You are expecting a 1099-INT from the IRS.

Most taxpayers who received their refund by direct deposit had their interest payment sent to the same account. 

• Everyone else received a check. 
• A note on the check reads "INT Amount." This identifies it as a refund interest payment.
• These interest payments are taxable. Taxpayers who received a payment must report it on their 2020 federal income tax return next year. 
• The IRS will send a Form 1099-INT in January 2021, to anyone who gets a payment of at least $10.

You should start by contacting the IRS.

You can call toll-free at 1-800-829-1040 or contact a Taxpayer Assistance Center Local IRS Office.

If you do not have success, and you know the amount, you can post the information in the 1099-INT section.
