1099-int nominee distribution

[kstur0912]

Hi

My daughter (not a minor) and I own a CD as joint owners which yielded interest in 2024 but the interest is reported against my Social since I am the primary owner of the account. I gave that entire amount to her for her to use. I want her to report the amount as income on her 1040. To do that I would do the following - correct me if I am wrong please.

1. By 2/28/2025 - I have to file/send a 1099-int Copy A with Form 1096 to IRS indicating her as the recipient of the amount. Payer information (TIN, address, etc.) would be mine and Recipient (TIN, address, etc.) would be my daughter with CD account number in account number box.

2. When I do my taxes I report the amount in Schedule-B but deduct it under nominee distribution so the interest amount is reflecting as 0.00 income for me on my 1040.

3. My daughter would file her1040 and show it as income on her Schedule-B and pay applicable taxes.

4. Address of both Payer and Recipient can be same right - no issues there.

Please let me know if I have to do anything else.

Thanks

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

2 more questions in continuation to the above ...

1. On the 1099-INT I am sending in to IRS - Copy A - It has 2 check boxes on the top - VOID & CORRECTED.

In my above situation would I Check the CORRECTED check box and send the 1099-INT COPY A to IRS or I would leave both the check boxes unchecked?

2. Both text boxes PAYERS TIN and SECONDARY TIN are Orange/Grayed out but yet I would enter my Social in PAYERS TIN and my Daughters in SECONDARY TIN Correct?

Thanks

You would leave both boxes blank. Only check the Corrected box if you make a mistake and have to issue a new form..

Correct, your social goes in the Payer TIN box and her social goes in the Recipient TIN box.
