Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The IRS has a copy of the 1099-INT and will be looking for it on your tax return.

If you have already reported the EE savings bonds on your tax return- and you have done it correctly (reported it as if 1099-int is received) and your return has been accepted - you are fine.  If you have reported in in another way, the IRS may issue a correspondence in the summer asking you for additional information or to make some adjustment on the tax return.  

If you prefer to amend just to reflect the bonds correctly - You would report Form 1099-INT form BOA and delete your own entry: 

  1. Federal Taxes
  2. Wages & Income
  3. Interest & Dividends, select Interest on 1099-INT - be sure to check the box My form has info in more than just box 1
