Enter interest from the IRS like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1. Enter it manually and just enter IRS for the payer. Don't enter any other info like the address or a EIN.

Federal
Wages & Income
Interest and Dividends

Put the interest amount in box 1

Don't enter a bank or broker name and don't try to import it. At the bottom pick - Change How I enter my Form

Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself

Oh, that was for IRS interest. What is your Treasury Direct for? It might go in box 3 for Savings Bonds.

You're right, thanks! Box 3 it is - bonds and other treasury obligations. Thanks. Done!

Assuming the interest is from US Savings Bonds, then this likely goes on the 1099-INT in box three. I too am wondering if I should enter a FEIN or just enter "US Treasury" in the "received from" box.

In the "received from" box, just enter the name of the entity (e.g., US Treasury).
