Deductions & credits

No, the accrued interest will not be imported.

Yes, you should report it since it reduces your taxable income.

BUT

You will need to create two 1099-INT forms

......one with the box 1 and 11 $$, and a second one with the box 3 and 12 $$.

 

The accrued interest you paid when you bought the bonds, needs to be reported just on the particular 1099-INT for which you received interest.

For example: if you paid accrued interest on buying a US Treasury bond, then that gets reported on the 1099-INT which had the box 3 $$ on it.

________

Where is it reported?  When you enter the 1099-INT,

On a page AFTER the main form page there is a page with some checkboxes

...you check the box indicating you need to adjust the interest reported.

...........then a page or two later, you will get a box to enter the accrued interest you paid to buy the bond(s) (see below):
