File it as Interest Income only.... I personally looked into this. The Number you are all searching IS NOT an EIN and this is a notice that THE IRS PAID YOU INTEREST INCOME!!! that number you are all reading is an internal number the IRS uses and has NOTHING to do with EIN numbers. You were paid interest income FROM the irs due to a delay in a tax refund or similar. The notice is telling you this and instead of receiving a actual 1099 from a business entity, the IRS sent you that notice. Their mistake for the last 10+ years is they keep placing that number that "resembles" an EIN and the poor sap that owns that EIN is paying the price for it by getting THOUSANDS of inquiries into their business. As of today, January 17, 2021, the number in question was issues to another business entity who incorporated in 2019, thus IMPOSSIBLE for that entity to be the one in the notice from 2011. It is a crying shame the IRS has not stopped using that number which has caused THOUSANDS of google searches over the last decade looking into the issue

TurboTax wants an street address, but there is none on the form. What address do I put in the address line?

You may need to clarify where you are at in the interview that is asking for an address. Entering a form 1099-INT in TurboTax does not ask for payer's address.

I am having the same issue. It only gives city state and zip on the form. Turbo tax keeps stopping me from filling until I give it a street address smh. Here’s a photo. Ppl need to stop saying this is not happening.

Seeing how others are saying to simply enter any other IRS center's address, I did find the address of the IRS office at that zip code 39901. Google map will put a drop pin at that zip code. It almost looks like the zip is for "one building: IRS". If you zoom in, Beverly Hills Dr & Buford Hwy, you'll see an "Internal Revenue Service (IRS)" drop pin. Clicking on it shows the address: 4800 Buford Hwy NE, Chamblee, GA 39901

the interest is probably because the IRS was tardy in issuing you your 2020 refund. the amount would have been included in the refund. the actual payor is the US Treasury, not the IRS. Address and EINS are never needed for 1099-int's or even most other items unless taxes are withheld. in most cases, where no withholding the address and EIN are not transmitted as part of the e-file.

Okay sweet I’m not the only one. I received on too with no info so it won’t let me file at this point. Pretty annoying
