Question

No 1099-INT from IRS

I received a direct deposit interest payment in 2020 from IRS (because of their delayed processing of my 2019 return).  But they did not send me a 1099-INT.  Do I need one or can I just put the data into  Turbo Tax as if I had one?  

 

If I need one, how do I get one?

 

If I don't, what information do I put into the TT 1099-INT entry form for/about the IRS?

    yes, you can and should enter the interest payments as income without getting the form 109--INT and I am impressed that you keep your financial records with enough detail to remember that interest was paid and needs to be claimed as income.

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