We had a series of Savings Bonds from the 80's, some were gifts, some were inherited, some were purchased. They were cashed out at a local Wells Fargo so we have a statement (receipt) but no 1099-INT.

To enter your savings bond interest:

  1. Select Personal.
  2. Select Personal Income.
  3. Scroll down to Interest and Dividends group.
  4. Click on the Start button to the right of the Interest on 1099-INT category.
  5. Answer Yes to Did you receive any interest income?
  6. Click I'll type it in myself
  7. Click the box next to My form has info in more than just box 1 (this is uncommon) to show boxes 2-14.
  8. Enter your interest in Box 3 (Savings bond and treasury int)

Please see screenshot below.

Yes, except Items 1 and 2 do not exist (at least with the disk version). There are Personal/Personal Income... tabs. It would save a lot of time if your notes matched what is shown on the screen, but thanks for the help anyway!
