The 1099-INT is issued to my SSN.

HERE is a link to a thread with a similar question. 

If the rental is not treated as a business, you can report the interest as personal interest. 

 

If you want to have the rental claim the interest, it is suggested that you make a double entry, enter Form 1099-INT, back-out the income and enter again as rental income. 

 

The issue is that the IRS will want to match Form 1099-INT and entering it as personal interest makes the entry obvious.
