Deductions & credits

Mine.  I was able to speak to a TT rep.  According to Pub 559 I am to submit Schedule B to show the interest income and the offset "previously reported interest".  She elevated it to a CPA who said just to send it in and if the IRS contacts me in the future, just send them the Schedule B.  I told her no....  She then said to print it all out and mail it in.  I told her no.....

 

She said an IT person from TT would be in touch with me.

 

I understand that if Interest Income is less than $1500, Schedule B is not required.  However, the interest income is clearly $7000, but is reduced by the "previously reported interest" so I believe the IRS is going to be looking for that $7000 reported on a 1099-INT I received and schedule B is required per the IRS instructions.

I should add that the Schedule B was generated by TT, but doesn't attach to the return for submission to the IRS. That is why IT is involved, to see if there is a way to get it to submit with the return.  If not, I guess I have to mail the return in.
