    Did you request a specific refund amount with the rest to be applied to the next year's return?  

    There is no way to remove the interest that the IRS reported was paid or credited to you.   If part of your refund was allocated to any other purpose, the interest would be credited with it and is still taxable income to you in the year credited by the IRS.

    The interest reported to you on the 1099 would have been included in the refund payment that you received.

    I requested a specific refund amount.  I only got the specific refund amount.  I did not get the specific refund amount plus interest.  I had expected to be paid the refund amount plus interest.  So I need to subtract the interest from the specific refund amount and credit myself in Turbotax for the interest that was included in the refund amount that I had expected to be paid extra for?  How do I do that in Turbotax?  Thanks.
