I received a 1099-INT from the IRS that lists the Payer's Federal Identification Number but I don't see anywhere to put that on the 1099-INT section.
Also do I put "Internal Revenue Service" or just "IRS" in the Bank or brokerage name? Seems weird since the IRS isn't a bank.
Thanks

Just put IRS.
In the bank or brokerage name? So no need to enter their Payer Federal ID number?
You shouldn't need to enter an EIN. Just enter a name like US Treasury or IRS.
The IRS took so long last year to pay refunds they paid interest on 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
Federal on left
Wages & Income at top
Interest and Dividends
Interest on 1099INT - Click the Start or Revisit button
Don't enter a bank or broker name and don't try to import it. At the bottom pick - Change How I enter my Form
Then on the next screen pick I'll Type it in Myself
I'm using H&R Block and there is no "Payer" box, only "Bank or brokerage name". Can I put IRS in the Bank or brokerage name?
Yes, enter IRS for the Payer of the interest in the spot for the Bank or brokerage name.
This is only the Turbo Tax forum. We can't answer for HR Block. They probably have their own forum.
