How do I enter long term capital gain in Turbotax if no 1099 received?

[tccutler]

I had an investment with a company for 2.5 years that completed April 2022.  The agreement was total interest payment at the conclusion of the investment.   Without going into great detail, the company paid me $18k in interest at the end of the investment.

The company sent me a note for 2022 taxes that stated the following "we are not filing a 1099 with the IRS, but we will be claiming the interest paid out to you"

I am uncertain where\how to enter that into Turbotax.  Although it was stated as an interest payment, I'm wondering if it would actually be a long term capital gain.  Since I don't have tax filing paperwork from the company, I'm not sure what to do.

Any suggestions?

according to both you and the company, it is interest.

To start with, the IRS description of interest is simple.  So, this should be included as interest.

"interest — the charge for the use of borrowed money.

interest income — the income a person receives from certain bank accounts or from lending money to someone else.

taxable interest income — interest income that is subject to income tax. All interest income is taxable unless specifically excluded.

tax-exempt interest income — interest income that is not subject to income tax. Tax-exempt interest income is earned from bonds issued by states, cities, or counties and the District of Columbia."  IRS Interest Income
