Get your taxes done using TurboTax
There are several possibilities here, and we're all talking about different things that might be called accrued interest. "Accrued interest" could have several different meanings. What is the exact wording of the entry on Schedule B?
If it just says "Accrued Interest" then it does not appear on the 1099-INT or any other form. When you entered the 1099-INT you checked the box that said "I need to adjust the interest reported on my form." Then when TurboTax asked for the reason for adjustment you selected "My accrued interest is included in this 1099-INT." The way that TurboTax "arrived with that number" is that it's the number you entered as the "adjustment amount."
If you entered an accrued interest adjustment for more than one 1099-INT, the total of all the adjustments is shown in one entry on Schedule B. They are not listed separately. If you are using the desktop TurboTax software you can see the individual adjustment amounts and the reason that you selected in the "Adjustments to Interest" section near the bottom of each Form 1099-INT Worksheet in forms mode.
If the entry on Schedule B says something other than just "Accrued Interest," then ignore everything above and tell us exactly what it says.
