Interest payment from IRS

IRS paid me interest last year, and i received a letter stating it is interest income. Will IRS send me the 1099int or should I just report this as an income in my return?

They might send a 1099 but you don’t need it.   Enter interest from the IRS like a 1099Int and put the amount in box 1.  Enter it manually and just enter IRS for the payer.  Don't enter any other info like the address or a EIN.

 

Enter a 1099-Int  under
