Question

I received a 1099-INT from Dept of treas IRS with no box numbers. Should the interest go into Box 3 as a Treasury obligation? or, is it "interest income" box 1?

Enter it in Box 1, interest income.

Even if it is interest from a U.S. Savings Bond or Treasury note (Box 3). it will still get taxed the same way.

If the 1099-INT did not identify it as Savings Bond or Treasury interest, it is probably interest paid on a tax refund.
