No 1099-INT for $2.58 interest

If Saving interest is less than $3.00 does it need to be reported?

I have the same situation.  I doubt I will receive a 1099-INT from my bank for 2021 because none of the accounts received more than a few dollars of interest, although the total interest income from that bank was $11 plus change if you total the accounts.  If I receive no 1099-INT, are you saying you just enter it into TT as if you received a 1099-INT?

Yes.  I enter all my interest.  I just say Wells Fargo or Bank of America, etc.  and put the amount in box 1.
