Question

How should "Cash Incentive Offers" from a bank be reported?

 For as long as I can remember when filing taxes, this was not considered taxable.  I received a $300 deposit from the bank for opening a bank account with my bank.  To my surprise they reported this on my 1099-INT.  I have never seen this before.  Is this the correct way to report this, did something change recently that is now gets reported? Please advise.

Yes, banks must include amounts of $10 or more, whether or not designated as interest, that are paid or credited to the person's account on the 1099-INT.
