Form 1099-INT – Interest Income

Article: 50066

If you were paid interest income, including bank interest, you may have received a Form 1099-INT. If you received more than one Form 1099-INT, enter each one separately. A combined 1099-INT is not supported in 1040.com.

If you didn’t receive a form, you can still enter your interest income on your return.
