Deductions & credits

@namitaxi2  I am somewhat confused -- so 

 

(a) are you US person , in the USA and have received  interest income in another country  from a local  financial entity / person etc. ?   If so you report the  interest income --- use only the  entity name  and report the amount in US$ at the time of receipt --  just use city and country or similar

OR

(b) are  you a US person , living in a foreign country and have received interest income locally ?   In such a case  use the same  as above;

OR

(c) are you US person, living in US and reporting interest paid to a foreign entity and hence the need to issue 1099-INT to that person ---- you need foreign person/entity  ITIN or similar to show that you paid an interest from US sources so they can file and pay their US taxes -- 

Help me out as to what the real situation is  -- I am probably in the left field with this 

 

Namaste
