Oh, that was for IRS interest. What is your Treasury Direct for? It might go in box 3 for Savings Bonds.
You're right, thanks! Box 3 it is - bonds and other treasury obligations. Thanks. Done!
Assuming the interest is from US Savings Bonds, then this likely goes on the 1099-INT in box three. I too am wondering if I should enter a FEIN or just enter "US Treasury" in the "received from" box.
