Fresh start and I now understand that you have a 1099-INT with treasury obligations in box 3 as the starting point. Please follow these steps:
- Open your return to the federal income section
- Select your 1099-INT and see if you have entries in box 1 and box 3. If so, split your form into 2 entries. Create a form and enter the box 1 information and all other boxes with box 3 blank. Then create the 2nd form for box 3 income. It isn't necessary, usually, but it can prevent trouble.
- On Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply
- select I need to adjust the interest reported on my form
- Enter you accrued interest paid as a positive number
- In the dropdown menu, select My accrued interest is included in this Form 1099-INT
