Question

can the amount of an early withdrawal penalty in box 2 of my 199-int form be deducted from interested income reported in box 1?

or has the early withdrawal penalty already been deducted from the interest income before the bank posted the interest income in box 1?

    No, you don't deduct it from the interest, but enter everything just as it shows on your 1099-INT Form. You will receive an adjustment to income for the early withdrawal amount. TurboTax will automatically do that based on your entry in box 2.
