Interest Income on 1099-INT

[mslatinlady]

I have 2 accounts at the same bank under my name and social sec#.  The bank sent me 2 separate 1099-INT's (one for each account).  QUESTION:  Do I enter the amount of each of the 1099-INT's  separately on my tax return, or do I combine the amounts from both, add it up, and enter the TOTAL of the two ??

Blessings....

Yes, you should enter each of the 1099-INT's separately.  This will ensure that the IRS matches both of your 1099-INT's.

OK, that is what I was thinking.  I thought it best to enter each separately so as to not cause confusion with the IRS.  THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU !!!
