From the IRS? The IRS paid interest on refunds last year because they took so long to send it.

IRS interest 1099 form probably only says 1099 (rev. 10-2013 or 9-07) on it. The IRS EIN # on it is 38-1798424.

You shouldn't need to enter an EIN. Just enter a name like US Treasury or IRS.

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.

Enter a 1099-Int under

Federal on left

Wages & Income at top

Interest and Dividends

Interest on 1099INT - Click the Start or Revisit button

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
