EE Bond interest

When I add EE Treasury Bond interest to one of my Banks accounts it identifies Box 3 on all my interest accounts as treasury bond interest! Does anyone else have that problem?

It depends. Box 3 on all 1099-INTs is strictly and specifically for US Bond interest. Choose to manually enter your 1099-INT using the steps below and then selecting that option.

You can choose to delete your Form 1099-INT and then enter it manually as follows. Use the link below for your version of TurboTax to delete a form.

  • If you're using TurboTax Online software and need to delete a form, click here.
  • If you're using TurboTax Desktop software and need to delete a form, click here.

If you have reviewed your entries and continue an experience with more US Bond interest being reported than what you actually have, please update and we will help you.
