The premium is an amount above par that you pay for an investment. For example, if you buy a $10,000 bond for $10,500, you are paying a premium. The higher price you pay results in a lower than stated interest rate of the investment. If it is "covered" it is reported to the IRS. If it is non-covered, it is not reported to the IRS.
