What if I didn't get a 1099 int from my bank?

Is there a limit on interest earned that has to be claimed?

Any amount of income that is more than 49 cents is reportable and taxable.

If the amount is less than $10, the bank does not have to send you a 1099-INT, but you are required to report the income. You report it as if the bank had sent you a 1099-INT. Just put the bank name as the payer and put the interest in Box 1.

Most banks will generate a 1099-INT for you, if you explicitly ask them.  Because they aren't required to (for amounts under $10), they don't do it automatically.

Is this 49 cents minimum per account or per bank/institution?

so you are saying i have to count it all up myself?

Yes. You can find the amounts on your year end statements. You are required to report income whether you receive a 1099 or not.

Chase wont gimme a 1099 INT since my interest was less than $10. I have called chase now multiple times and they are unable to provide a tax ID number which turbo tax keeps asking for while finalizing the state taxes.... Any way around this issue.

The federal tax ID for JPMorgan Chase NA is 13, then dash, then 499, then 4650

This forum does not allow posting the account # for some reason. This is why posting in this weird format. It is not like this is a secret ...

It seems the restriction is because this 'looks' like an SSN

I was able to view my 1099-INT online on my banks website. If you do online banking, you may be able to do the same, or go into a branch to request one.

Will I need to file an amendment? My taxes have  been accepted & I wasnt expecting this form,  it was almost $20 in interest

The correct answer is to amend your return.  This will have to be your decision.  Maybe the tax on the $20 is 25% or $5.00.  I don't think the IRS will send you a notice for $5.00.  

 

It is your decision.

Why would the tax on $20 be 25%?  It's just added to your total income which probably won't change anything.

Right, the interest of $20 will be taxed at the same rate as the rest of your income. Generally, the IRS will let a tax difference of less than $25 go.
