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
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

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.
