TurboTax shows I had a 1099-INT form last year, but I'm not sure what it was from. Is there a way I could check what it was?

I want to double check I'm not forgetting a source of income this year that I also had last year. But am unable to view where or how it was imported last year, just the dollar amount that it was. I was also unable to see the source from last year's tax return.

The 1099-INT is for interest earned. Your bank, broker, or government would have given you the form. The IRS sends interest when you do an amended return. Your bank and broker pay interest on your account.

 

All of your tax forms should be together with your return in your tax file at home. The IRS expects you to keep your tax records for a minimum of 3 years.

This doesn't help a great deal, I know what a 1099-INT is, I know I probably have my 2019 one around here in my home or computer somewhere, but I just want to know if TurboTax will actually tell me what it was last year to help me look for it.

Do you know how to navigate back to the Wages&Income menu page in the Federal section?

 

If you go into the 1099-INT section there, there will be a table of 1099-INT forms...you should delete any that are empty and not being used.  A Bank/Broker/Payer name is associated with each one. 

 

Any showing as <untitled> are ones you may have started to enter, but jumped out of without filling it out .... those would need to be deleted....if in the 1099-INT table.
