Is CD interest taxable before maturity? One institution sent a 1099-INT and the other insists it is not needed until the CD matures
Best answer by pk12_2

Generally the CD interest ( not being available to you )  does not constitute  constructive receipt till the maturity date . So the bank that did not  issue  a 1099-INT is correct.  If however they do make it available to , even with restriction , you would have to recognize -- this is because the bank would book it as interest paid in their filings.  That is my understanding of CD interest reporting.

Another bank did issue a 1099-INT even though the CD has not reached maturity. So unfortunately I am still confused.
