Instructions for Forms
1099-INT and 1099-OID
Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless
otherwise noted.

3. From whom you withheld (and did not refund) any federal
income tax under the backup withholding rules regardless of the
amount of the payment.

What’s New

Report only interest payments made in the course of your
trade or business including federal, state, and local government
agencies and activities deemed nonprofit, or for which you were
a nominee/middleman. Report tax-exempt interest, including
exempt-interest dividends from a regulated investment
company (RIC), only on Form 1099-INT. Do not report
tax-exempt interest on Form 1099-OID. Report interest that is
treated as original issue discount (OID) in box 1 or 6 of Form
1099-OID, Original Issue Discount, not on Form 1099-INT.
Canadian nonresident aliens. If you pay U.S. bank deposit
interest of at least $10 to a nonresident alien who resides in
Canada, you may have to report the interest on Form 1042-S,
Foreign Person’s U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding.
This interest is not subject to backup withholding. See the
Instructions for Form 1042-S.
Exceptions to reporting. No Form 1099-INT is required to be
filed for payments made to exempt recipients or for interest
excluded from reporting.
Exempt recipients. You are not required to file Form
1099-INT for payments made to certain payees including but
not limited to a corporation, a tax-exempt organization, any IRA,
Archer MSA, or health savings account (HSA), a U.S. agency, a
state, the District of Columbia, a U.S. possession, a registered
securities or commodities dealer, nominees or custodians,
brokers, or notional principal contract (swap) dealers. For
additional exempt recipients, see Regulations section 1.6049-4
for more information.
Interest excluded from reporting. You are not required to
file Form 1099-INT for interest on an obligation issued by an
individual, interest on amounts from sources outside the United
States paid outside the United States by a non-U.S. payer or
non-U.S. middleman, certain portfolio interest, interest on an
obligation issued by an international organization and paid by
that organization, and payments made to a foreign beneficial
owner or foreign payee. See Regulations section 1.6049-5 for
more information.
Other exception. Do not report tax-deferred interest, such
as interest that is earned but not distributed from an IRA.
When is a payment made? Generally, interest is paid when it
is credited or set apart for a person without any substantial
limitation or restriction as to the time, manner, or condition of
payment. The interest must be made available so that it may be
drawn on at any time and its receipt brought within the control
and disposition of the person.
For payments made on obligations subject to transactional
reporting (for example, savings bonds, interest coupons, and
other demand obligations), interest is paid at the time the
obligation is presented for payment. For example, interest on a
coupon detached from a bond is paid when it is presented for
payment.
Reporting interest and OID. If you are reporting interest and
original issue discount (OID) on any obligation, you may report
both the taxable interest and the OID on Form 1099-OID. It is
not necessary to file both Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID. On
Form 1099-OID, report the interest in box 2 and the OID in box
1 or 6. However, you may choose to report the interest on Form
1099-INT and the OID on Form 1099-OID.

The following changes have been made to Form 1099-INT.

• Amendments to section 6049 have added two new items of

reportable interest income. Section 1303 of the Energy Tax
Incentives Act of 2005 added new section 54 that allows for a
credit to holders of clean renewable energy bonds. Section
54(g) requires that the amount of the credit allowed to the
bondholder (determined without respect to the limitation based
on the amount of tax) be included in gross income and treated
as interest income. Section 101 of the Gulf Zone Opportunity
Act of 2005 added new section 1400N that allows a credit to
holders of Gulf bonds. Section 1400N(l)(6) requires that the
amount of the credit allowed to the bondholder (determined
without respect to the limitation based on the amount of tax) be
included in gross income and treated as interest income. Both
new items of reportable interest income are required by new
section 6049(d)(8) to be reported on Form 1099-INT, Interest
Income. See the instruction for Box 1. Interest Income on
page INT-2.
• Section 502 of the Tax Increase Prevention and
Reconciliation Act of 2005 has changed section 6049(b) by
requiring that interest on state or local bonds, tax-exempt under
section 103(a), and interest on specified private activity bonds
are no longer excluded from information reporting. New box 8
has been added to Form 1099-INT to report all amounts of
tax-exempt interest. New box 9 has been added to report that
portion of the interest in box 8 from qualified private activity
bonds required to be reported for alternative minimum tax
purposes.

Statements to recipients. If you are required to file Form
1099-INT, you must furnish a statement to the recipient. For
more information about the requirement to furnish an official
form or acceptable substitute statement to recipients in person,
by statement mailing, or electronically, see part M in the 2006
General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G. If
you have furnished Forms 1099-INT to a recipient for amounts
received during the year at the time of the transaction, such as
you might have done for window transactions, do not include
these same amounts in a Form 1099-INT furnished to the same
recipient for other payments during the year.
Account number. The account number is required if you have
multiple accounts for a recipient for whom you are filing more
than one Form 1099-INT. Additionally, the IRS encourages you
to designate an account number for all Forms 1099-INT that
you file. See part L in the 2006 General Instructions for Forms
1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.
2nd TIN not. You may enter an “X” in this box if you were
notified by the IRS twice within 3 calendar years that the payee
provided an incorrect taxpayer identification number (TIN). If
you mark this box, the IRS will not send you any further notices
about this account. However, if you received both IRS notices in
the same year, or if you received them in different years but
they both related to information returns filed for the same year,
do not check the box at this time. For purposes of the two
notices in 3-year rule, you are considered to have received one
notice. You are not required to send a second “B” notice upon
receipt of the second notice. See part N in the 2006 General
Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G for more
information.
For information on the TIN matching system offered by
TIP the IRS, see page GEN-3 in the 2006 General
Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.

Box 1. Interest Income
Enter interest not included in box 3. Include amounts of $10 or

credited to the person’s account by savings and loan
associations, mutual savings banks not having capital stock
represented by shares, building and loan associations,

similar organizations. Include interest on bank deposits,
accumulated dividends paid by a life insurance company,
indebtedness (including bonds, debentures, notes, and
certificates other than those of the U.S. Treasury) issued in
registered form or of a type offered to the public, or amounts
from which you withheld federal income tax or foreign tax. In
addition, report interest of $10 or more accrued to a real estate
mortgage investment conduit (REMIC) or financial asset
securitization investment trust (FASIT) regular interest holder or
paid to a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) holder, as
explained below.
Also include interest of $600 or more paid in the course of
your trade or business not meeting the above criteria, such as
interest on delayed death benefits paid by a life insurance
company, interest received with damages, interest on a state or
federal income tax refund, or interest attributable to a swap with
significant nonperiodic payments.
Include in box 1 any accrued interest on bonds sold between
interest dates (or on a payment date). Also show OID on
short-term obligations of 1 year or less and interest on all
bearer certificates of deposit.
Do not include in box 1 interest on tax-free covenant bonds
or dividends from money market funds (which are reportable on
Form 1099-DIV). Do not include any description in box 1, but if
you wish to show a description, use the blank box above box 1.
Interest from clean renewable energy bonds and Gulf
bonds. Report amounts of $10 or more on clean renewable
energy bonds and Gulf bonds. Treat these amounts as paid on
the credit allowance date. The credit allowance dates are March

15, June 15, September 15, December 15, and the last day on
which the bond is outstanding. For bonds issued during the
3-month period ending on a credit allowance date and for bonds
which are redeemed or mature, the amount of the credit is
determined ratably based on the portion of the 3-month period
during which the bond is outstanding.
Generally, interest paid is not required to be reported to the
list of recipients below. However, if they are holders of clean
renewable energy bonds or Gulf bonds, the interest must be
reported.

address, and federal identification number on Form 1099-INT
and Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S.
Information Returns, not those of the U.S. Treasury Department
or the Bureau of Public Debt.

Box 4. Federal Income Tax Withheld
Enter backup withholding. For example, if a recipient does not
furnish its TIN to you in the manner required, you must backup
withhold at a 28% rate on payments required to be reported in
box 1 (which may be reduced by the amount reported in box 2),
box 3, and box 8 on this form.

details. Also see the Instructions for Form 6251, Alternative
Minimum Tax — Individuals.
Include exempt-interest dividends paid by a RIC on specified
private activity bonds to the extent that the dividends are

an allocable share of the expenses.

Rules for REMICs, FASITs, and Issuers of CDOs
These reporting rules apply only to FASITs in existence
on October 22, 2004, to the extent that regular interests
CAUTION issued by the FASIT before that date continue to remain

REMICs, holders of ownership interests in FASITs, issuers
of CDOs, and any broker or middleman who holds as a
nominee a REMIC or FASIT regular interest or CDO must file
Form 1099-INT. The form is used to report interest of $10 or
more, other than OID, accrued to a REMIC or FASIT regular
interest holder during the year or paid to a holder of a CDO. If
you are also reporting OID, this interest and the OID can be
reported on Form 1099-OID. You do not have to file both Forms
1099-INT and 1099-OID.
You are not required to file or issue Form 1099-INT for
exempt recipients including but not limited to the following.
• A corporation.
• A broker.

Box 1. Interest Income
Report in box 1 the amount of interest, other than OID, accrued
to each REMIC or FASIT regular interest holder or paid to a
CDO holder for the period during the year for which the return is
made. If you are a single-class REMIC (as defined in
Temporary Regulations section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(ii)(B)), increase
the amount otherwise reportable in box 1 by the regular interest
holder’s share of investment expenses of the REMIC for the
year. No amount should be reported in box 3.

Box 5. Investment Expenses
Enter the regular interest holder’s pro rata share of investment
expenses deductible by a single-class REMIC.

Statements to Holders
For each Form 1099-INT you are required to file, you must
furnish a statement to the REMIC or FASIT regular interest or
CDO holder identified on the form. The statement must contain
the information shown on Form 1099-INT, including the legend
shown on Copy B of the official Form 1099-INT, and an
indication that these items are being furnished to the IRS. The
statement also must show the information specified in
Regulations section 1.6049-7(f)(2)(i). In addition, the statement
furnished by a REMIC must show, for each calendar quarter,
the information specified in Regulations section 1.6049-7(f)(3).
Also see Regulations section 1.6049-7(f)(3)(ii) for information
that may be required to be reported to a real estate investment
trust (REIT) that holds a REMIC regular interest.

A single-class REMIC (as defined in Temporary Regulations
section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(ii)(B)) must include in the statement the
investment expenses paid or accrued during each calendar
quarter by the REMIC for which the REMIC is allowed a
deduction under section 212 and the proportionate share of
those investment expenses allocated to the regular interest
holder.
The statement must be furnished to holders by March 15. To
meet the statement requirement, you may furnish a copy of
Form 1099-INT and a separate statement containing the
additional information to the REMIC or FASIT regular interest or
CDO holder.
For information about reporting income to REMIC residual
interest holders, see the instructions for Schedule Q (Form
1066), Quarterly Notice to Residual Interest Holder of REMIC
Taxable Income or Net Loss Allocation, in the separate
Instructions for Form 1066.

Form 8811 and Reporting by Brokers or Middlemen
REMICs and issuers of CDOs must also file Form 8811,
Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt
Obligations, within 30 days after the start-up date of the REMIC
or issue date of a CDO. The IRS will use the information on
Forms 8811 to update Pub. 938, Real Estate Mortgage
Investment Conduits (REMICs) Reporting Information, for use
by certain brokers, middlemen, corporations, and others
specified in Regulations section 1.6049-7(e)(4). Pub. 938 is
available only on the IRS website at www.irs.gov.
For the requirements that a REMIC or CDO issuer or a
broker or middleman who holds a REMIC or FASIT regular
interest or a CDO furnish certain information on request, see
Regulations sections 1.6049-7(e) and 1.6049-7(f)(7).

Specific Instructions for Form 1099-OID
File Form 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount, if the original
issue discount (OID) includible in gross income is at least $10
and you are any of the following:
• An issuer with any bond outstanding or other evidence of
indebtedness in registered or bearer form issued with OID;
• An issuer of a certificate of deposit (CD) made, purchased, or
renewed after 1970 if the CD has OID and a term of more than
1 year (see Caution below);
• A financial institution having other deposit arrangements,
such as time deposits or bonus-savings plans, if the
arrangements have OID and a term of more than 1 year;
• A broker or other middleman holding an OID obligation,
including CDs, as nominee for the actual owner; or
• A real estate mortgage investment conduit (REMIC), a holder
of an ownership interest in a financial asset securitization
investment trust (FASIT), or an issuer of a collateralized debt
obligation (CDO).
Also, file Form 1099-OID for any person for whom you
withheld and paid any foreign tax on OID or from whom you
withheld (and did not refund) any federal income tax under the
backup withholding rules even if the amount of the OID is less
than $10.
Original issue discount. OID is the excess of an obligation’s
stated redemption price at maturity over its issue price
(acquisition price for a stripped bond or coupon). A discount of
less than 1/4 of 1% of the stated redemption price at maturity,
multiplied by the number of full years from the date of issue to
maturity, is considered to be zero.
Reporting OID. You must prepare a Form 1099-OID for each
person who is a holder of record of the obligation if the OID
includible in the holder’s gross income is at least $10.
For a discussion of the reporting requirements for REMICs,
FASITs, and CDOs, see the instructions on page INT-4.
Ordinarily, you will file only one Form 1099-OID for the
depositor or holder of a particular obligation for the calendar
year. If a person holds more than one discount obligation, issue
a separate Form 1099-OID for each obligation. However, if a

person holds more than one certificate of the same issue for the
same period of time during the calendar year, and if Form
1099-OID amounts are proportional, you may treat all such
certificates as one discount obligation and file a single Form
1099-OID.
For information about how to compute OID, see sections
1271 – 1275 and their regulations.
If you are a broker or middleman who holds a bank CD as
nominee, whether or not you sold the CD to the owner, you
must determine the amount of OID includible in the income of
the owner, if any, and report it on Form 1099-OID.
Pub. 1212, Guide to Original Issue Discount (OID)
Instruments, contains information on certain outstanding
publicly offered discount obligations. It is available on the IRS
website at www.irs.gov.
Issuers of certain publicly offered debt instruments having
OID must file Form 8281, Information Return for Publicly
Offered Original Issue Discount Instruments, within 30 days
after the date of issuance. The information provided on that
form will enable the IRS to update Pub. 1212. See Form 8281
for details.
Exceptions. You are not required to file Form 1099-OID for
payments made to certain payees including a corporation, a
tax-exempt organization, any IRA, an Archer MSA or Medicare
Advantage MSA, a U.S. agency, a state, the District of
Columbia, a U.S. possession, or a registered securities or
commodities dealer.

Box 2. Other Periodic Interest
Enter any stated interest (that is not OID) paid or credited on
this obligation during the year. However, you may report any
stated interest that is not OID on Treasury Inflation-Indexed

Form 1099-OID. Interest reported here must not be reported on
Form 1099-INT. For a discussion of REMICs, FASITs, and
CDOs, see the instructions below.

Box 3. Early Withdrawal Penalty
Enter interest or principal forfeited because of an early
withdrawal, such as an early withdrawal from a CD, that is
deductible from gross income by the recipient. Do not reduce

For detailed instructions for determining the amount of forfeiture
deductible by the holder, see Rev. Ruls. 75-20, 1975-1 C.B. 29,
and 75-21, 1975-1 C.B. 367.

Box 4. Federal Income Tax Withheld
Enter backup withholding. For example, if a recipient does not
furnish its TIN to you in the manner required, you must backup
withhold at a 28% rate. The 28% rate applies to amounts
required to be reported in boxes 1, 2, and 6 but limited to the
cash paid on these obligations. Before applying the 28% rate,
you may reduce the amounts reported in boxes 1 and 2 by the
amount reported in box 3.
For information on requesting the recipient’s TIN, see part J
in the 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498,
and W-2G.

Reporting interest and OID. If you are reporting stated
interest and OID on an obligation, you may report both the
taxable interest and the OID on Form 1099-OID. It is not
necessary to file both Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID. On Form
1099-OID, report the interest in box 2 and the OID in box 1 or 6.
You may choose to report the interest on Form 1099-INT and
the OID on Form 1099-OID. However, you cannot report
tax-exempt interest on Form 1099-OID. See Box 8. Tax-Exempt
Interest on page INT-2.
Statements to recipients. If you are required to file Form
1099-OID, you must furnish a statement to the recipient. For
more information about the requirement to furnish an official
form or acceptable substitute statement to recipients in person,
by statement mailing, or electronically, see part M in the 2006
General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.
Account number. The account number is required if you have
multiple accounts for a recipient for whom you are filing more
than one Form 1099-OID. Additionally, the IRS encourages you
to designate an account number for all Forms 1099-OID that
you file. See part L in the 2006 General Instructions for Forms
1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.
2nd TIN not. You may enter an “X” in this box if you were
notified by the IRS twice within 3 calendar years that the payee
provided an incorrect taxpayer identification number (TIN). If
you mark this box, the IRS will not send you any further notices
about this account. However, if you received both IRS notices in
the same year, or if you received them in different years but
they both related to information returns filed for the same year,
do not check the box at this time. For purposes of the two
notices in 3-year rule, you are considered to have received one
notice. You are not required to send a second “B” notice upon
receipt of the second notice. See part N in the 2006 General
Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G for more
information.

of the obligation is other than the payer, show the name of the
issuer.

Box 6. Original Issue Discount on U.S. Treasury
Obligations
Enter the OID on a U.S. Treasury obligation for the part of the
year it was owned by the record holder. Do not include this
amount in box 1. You may enter any stated interest on the
Treasury obligation in box 2.
If you make payment on a U.S. Treasury obligation on which
OID is reportable, enter your name, address, and federal
identification number on Forms 1099-OID and 1096, not those
of the U.S. Treasury Department or the Bureau of Public Debt.

on October 22, 2004, to the extent that regular interests
CAUTION issued by the FASIT before that date continue to remain
outstanding in accordance with the original terms of issue.

!

REMICs, holders of ownership interests in FASITs, issuers
of CDOs, and any broker or middleman who holds as a
nominee a REMIC or FASIT regular interest or CDO must file
Form 1099-OID. The form is used to report OID of $10 or more
accrued to a REMIC or FASIT regular interest holder or to a
holder of a CDO. Also use Form 1099-OID to report other
interest accrued to a REMIC or FASIT regular interest holder
during the year or paid to a holder of a CDO. You may use
Form 1099-INT rather than Form 1099-OID to report interest for
an instrument issued with OID if no OID is includible in the
regular interest holder’s or CDO holder’s income for the year.
