I have 3 bank accounts with interest. should I sum them and report them as one? or should I report them each?
And is there any place that I provide details on which account provided which interest?
Thank you
No. You may report these as one interest income amount in the 1099 INT section. You do not need to report these separately. It is not necessary to provide details in this context. The only instance where details might be a factor is if you were trying to claim a foreign tax credit over the amount of $300 if filing single, separately, or Head of Household or $600 if filing jointly. In this instance, you will be required to provide the name of the country where this interest originated from.
If this is the case, you may still report this one total in the 1099 INT section but will need to break it down in the Foreign Tax Credit section of the return if the Foreign Tax paid were over the amounts I listed above.
