I got interest from a bank that was not large enough to warrant a 1099-INT. How can I report this interest?

Even though you didn't receive Form 1099-INT, you still report the interest, which is reported on Schedule B.

 

To enter your 1099-INT follow the steps below:

 

  1. Launch TurboTax
  2. Select Federal and Wages & Income
  3. Select Add more income
  4. Select the dropdown by Investments and Savings
  5. Select  Interest on 1099-INT and follow the prompts to enter the interest that you received.

 

Refer to the TurboTax Help article Filing Tax Form 1099-INT: Interest Income for more information.

Thank you for the response. However, how am I supposed to report a nonexistent 1099-INT? Won't it get flagged because it doesn't exist?

assuming the bank did not report this to the iRS, reporting more income than their records show should never create a problem. Your situation is common.
