What is the 1099-INT IRS form for? I never received this amount. Why did I get this form?

On reason, If you did an amended return and had a refund the IRS would pay you interest on it. It would be included  on the check from the IRS.  It would not be a separate check.  I amended 3 years of returns in 2017 and each refund had interest on it I had to enter on my tax return.

Enter interest from the IRS like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1.  
Enter a 1099-Int  under

Put the interest amount in box 1

That may explain it as I entered amended returns on the advice of TurboTax for two different years last year and received additional money back. This may explain why I received this 1099-INT from the IRS.

I received this form yet I paid taxes in 2020 for 2019. Why would I get a 1099-R?

Yes, the IRS is issuing 1099-INT for interest paid on refunds due to the longer than usual tax filing season in 2019 when the IRS postponed the tax deadline to July 15. See the first paragraph of this for more information. IRS interest from 2019 1099-INT  You said that you paid taxes in 2020 for the Tax Year 2019. If you received a refund for that tax year, this form would report the amount that would of interest that you would receive for the additional three months of tax season. If you had to pay for the 2019 Tax Year, this interest payment would be for an earlier year.

The IRS does not issue a 1099-R.

But I don't see the amount in my bank, and never received a cheque. 

How much was reported on the 1099-INT?

$225, and I never received this amount, but it definitely came on a 1099-INT

$41

The amount of interest reported would have been included with your refund when you received it.  You would not have received this as a separate payment.

Taxpayers who received a federal tax refund in 2020 may have been paid interest. Refund interest payments are taxable and must be reported on federal income tax returns. In January 2021, the IRS will send Form 1099-INT to anyone who received interest totaling $10 or more.

Do you put Irs or 1099INT?  Before you enter line 1? I haven't filed for years on SSDI? Another thing I am going to have to amend?

@emilar59   Did the IRS pay you interest for something?

Yes i did receive one from the irs, but it was on a old refund back when i was married to my ex husband. We divorced in 2007 and he has been dead for 3. I knew i couldn't cash it with his name on it, so i signed the no longer alive thing and sent it back. I guess they didn't get the memo. The check was for 350 and the interest was for 55. Wow, seems my ex is still messing with me. Any way, I already filed. I guess they will reject it to get that $55 off the books.

But it is an easy fix.

Are they going to reject it for $55. I have only AGI of $300 being on Social security. Good lord, I am going to have to keep paying them for money I never got in the first place. Does that take my AGI up to 355. I only had the 300 because I claimed the charitable deduction.

If your Adjusted Gross Income is only $355, you may not have a filing requirement based upon your filing status.

Threshold to file a federal income tax return

Since you already filed, if the taxing agencies have any sort of adjustment, you potentially could get a notice letting you know the taxing authorities made an adjustment to your tax return.

If your return is not accepted in electronic filing, you can make any corrections and try filing again if you determine you do have a filing requirement.

I only filed because I wanted to get stimulus. My daughter claimed me last year but she's practically in the same boat this year..I can only hope this 3rd one will include me. If it dors will they take it off that.

Under Income find Interest and Dividends - 1099-INT, 1099-DIV, 1099-OID

• Has your problem been solved? Info would be great, thanks in advance! I am having the same issue. I only received a "statement" from irs! I called both my banks and no 1099-INT being sent because interest paid to me was less than $10 for year 2020. How am I suppose to add without an actual 1099-INT form?
