I have the same issue. Error says 1099-OID box 10 amount cannot be greater than box 2. My box 2 is blank. This 1099-OID is not from Schwab or Wells Fargo but from a smaller investment firm. I have a request in to them to see what they say.

I had the same question.  I am deleting box 10.  

I went though Review and it says.....the adjustment 18.00 is greater than the interest amount in box 2 which is 0 and to reduce the bond premium.   So I guess that means I can delete it?

I tried deleting the amount in box 10 and I still get an error saying that box 2 cannot be zero.

which version off TT is this, desktop or online?  Deleting Box 10 or setting to zero usually clears the issue.  EasyStep doesn't reject the 1099-OID entry to begin with, and it just shows as an error in Forms mode in desktop.  Just tied in desktop and able to clear it up in Forms mode or on the Federal review error screen.

 

Maybe some other issue with the 1099-OID, what values does it have in other boxes?

 

Maybe try deleting the 1099-OID and input again but without Box 10 from the start.

 

Don't forget this Box 10 should still be a valid reduction in income but not being reported on the same form as the income if it's similar to the Schwab issue, in which case if it's material you should still adjust for it somewhere either on 1099-OID or 1099-INT.

most taxpayers don't know this but if you purchased the debt instrument in the secondary market the OID is wrong. The issuer always calculates OID based on the original issuance price, maturity value and time to maturity using the effective interest rate of the discount. It never changes this for purchasers in the secondary market. They're on their own 

 

 

second for OID you should have gotten a 1099-OID with an amount in box 1 for the OID

 box 10 is for Bond premium amortization (BPA) for the year

 

If you bought the security in the secondary market at a premium you could have received for 2024 the periodic interest payments (1099-int).  Then you could offset this by the BPA, limited by REG 1.171(a)(4) 

 

I don't see how you could have both OID and BPA on the same bond. OISD says you paid less than par BPA says you paid more.  

 

  Box 10. For a taxable covered security, including a Treasury inflation-protected
security, shows the amount of premium amortization allocable to the interest
payment(s), unless you notified the payer in writing in accordance with
Regulations section 1.6045-1(n)(5) that you did not want to amortize bond
premium under section 171. If an amount is reported in this box, see the
Instructions for Schedule B (Form 1040). If an amount is not reported in this box
for a taxable covered security acquired at a premium and the payer is reporting
premium amortization, the payer has reported a net amount of interest in box 2.
If the amount in this box is greater than the amount of interest paid on the
covered security, see Regulations section 1.171-2(a)(4)

 

 

(4) Bond premium in excess of qualified stated interest—(i) Taxable bonds—(A) Bond premium deduction. In the case of a taxable bond, if the bond premium allocable to an accrual period exceeds the qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period, the excess is treated by the holder as a bond premium deduction under section 171(a)(1) for the accrual period. However, the amount treated as a bond premium deduction is limited to the amount by which the holder's total interest inclusions on the bond in prior accrual periods exceed the total amount treated by the holder as a bond premium deduction on the bond in prior accrual periods. A deduction determined under this paragraph (a)(4)(i)(A) is not subject to section 67 (the 2-percent floor on miscellaneous itemized deductions). See Example 1 of § 1.171-3(e).

(B) Carryforward. If the bond premium allocable to an accrual period exceeds the sum of the qualified stated interest allocable to the accrual period and the amount treated as a deduction for the accrual period under paragraph (a)(4)(i)(A) of this section, the excess is carried forward to the next accrual period and is treated as bond premium allocable to that period.

(C) Carryforward in holder's final accrual period—(1) Bond premium deduction. If there is a bond premium carryforward determined under paragraph (a)(4)(i)(B) of this section as of the end of the holder's accrual period in which the bond is sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the holder treats the amount of the carryforward as a bond premium deduction under section 171(a)(1) for the holder's taxable year in which the sale, retirement, or other disposition occurs. For purposes of § 1.1016-5(b), the holder's basis in the bond is reduced by the amount of bond premium allowed as a deduction under this paragraph (a)(4)(i)(C)(1).

(2) Effective/applicability date. Notwithstanding § 1.171-5(a)(1), paragraph (a)(4)(i)(C)(1) of this section applies to a bond acquired on or after January 4, 2013. A taxpayer, however, may rely on paragraph (a)(4)(i)(C)(1) of this section for a bond acquired before that date.

I don't know about others, but for me I think it's just an oddity in the way Schwab does its muni reporting.  For a couple of munis Schwab is throwing off offsetting small Box 6 and Box 11 amounts on the OID form, and then puts the bond premium from my acquisition price on 1099-OID instead of on 1099-INT where the interest payment is.  I usually have some larger Box 11 from zero coupon munis so I just adjust the 1099-OID and move on, otherwise I'd adjust the 1099-INT.  The amounts are small and it all just ends up as one line on state tax as an addition so I don't spend too much time on it.

Thanks for the responses. In response to baldietax, I am using TT Deluxe desktop version. I was getting the error when I ran the Federal review with a small positive amount in box 10. No other boxes have entries in TT or on my 1099-OID from my smaller independent investment management firm. In the detailed OID info provided I have 3 individual investments with columns for Box 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14. Only "Bond Premium (box 10)" contains data.  The larger of these is associated with US Treasury Notes. 

 

If I delete the TT OID form entirely I can run the Federal review with no error, as might be expected.

I contacted my investment management company. Their response was if there is no data in Box 1 of my 1099-OID statement simply ignore the box 10 value and put nothing from the OID form in TT. Hopefully it is that simple. I don’t want to get a message back from the IRS that my filing was missing inputs.
