I think the *only* thing I needed to hear, that you or the other response did not say, was: Put your interest in the box that says Box 1 - Interest income; *even though there is no Box 1 in existence*
You'll simply go through the same path as if you were entering your information with a Form 1099-INT, entering any information you have.

(for anyone following with the same concerns)... Except "enter available information" also isn't enough because without the 1099 INT, you won't have your banks FEIN. Turbotax will, eventually, throw a warning if it's not there. So you will also have to go get that information form your bank and enter it.

Enter interest received like a 1099-Int under

Interest on 1099INT - Click the Start or Update button
