How do I record income from Mortgage interest?

I carry the mortgage for my son's home in Rhode Island. I live in Washington State.

You will report the interest you earned on Fed Sch B.  Follow these steps:

1. go to federal income,
2. interest, 
3. skip import,
4. received from -enter description like son's mortgage
5. enter amount of interest
6. continue, none,
7. continue

Rhode Island does tax non-source income but interest is only taxed when associated with a business or trade. Yours would not be taxable  according to RI DOR.
