Cashed iBond but 1099-int not received

I have cashed an iBond, but I have not received a 1099-int for it.  How do I proceed?

To enter Savings Bonds  just type Savings Bonds in the search box at the top of your return and click on the  Jump To link  at the top of the list.  Or

 

Enter Savings Bond interest like a 1099Int under

Federal Taxes tab

Wages & Income

Interest and Dividends

Interest on 1099INT - Click the Start or Update button

 

On the import screen scroll down and pick I'll enter it myself.

 

Type any description like Savings Bond  Interest

Savings Bond interest goes in box 3, not box 1.  You have to check the little box under box 1 that says my form has more boxes for it to open up.

 

I cashed some in at Wells Fargo.  They said I wouldn't get a 1099INT for it but they sent me one in January!

Did you cash it in during 2024? I would contact the bank. Maybe it went to the wrong address?
