Specific Instructions for Form 1099-INT
File Form 1099-INT, Interest Income, for each person:
1. To whom you paid amounts reportable in boxes 1, 3, and
8 of at least $10 (or at least $600 of interest paid in the course
of your trade or business described in the instructions for Box 1.
Interest Income on page 2),
2. For whom you withheld and paid any foreign tax on
interest, or
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.
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. You do not need to
report tax-exempt interest that is original issue discount (OID).
Report interest that is taxable 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.
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 2009
General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 3921, 3922, 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
transactions, 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

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-years 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 2009
General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 3921, 3922, 5498,
and W-2G for more information.

Box 2. Early Withdrawal Penalty
Enter interest or principal forfeited because of an early
withdrawal of time deposits, such as an early withdrawal from a
certificate of deposit (CD), that is deductible from gross income
by the recipient. Do not reduce the amount reported in box 1 by
the amount of the forfeiture. For detailed instructions for
determining the amount of forfeiture deductible by the
depositor, see Rev. Ruls. 75-20, 1975-1 C.B. 29, and 75-21,
1975-1 C.B. 367.

financial asset securitization investment trust (FASIT) regular
interest holder, or paid to a collateralized debt obligation (CDO)
holder, as explained below.

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.
For information on requesting the recipient’s TIN, see part J

operations and is issued by a state, the District of Columbia, a
U.S. possession, an Indian tribal government, or a political
subdivision. A political subdivision includes port authorities, toll
road commissions, utility services authorities, community
redevelopment agencies, and qualified volunteer fire
departments. Include in box 8 any accrued interest on these
bonds sold between interest dates (or on a payment date). Also
include any exempt-interest dividends from a regulated
investment company (RIC). Do not include any exempt-interest
dividends on Form 1099-DIV, Dividends and Distributions.
No information reporting for tax-exempt OID under section

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.

REMIC regular interest.
A single-class REMIC (as defined in Temporary Regulations

section 1.671-5(f)(1) or (g)(1), the trustee or middleman must
determine the amounts reported on Form 1099-INT under
Regulations section 1.671-5(f)(2) or (g)(2), as appropriate.
Requirement to furnish a tax information statement to the
TIH. A tax information statement that includes the information

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

p938.pdf.
For the requirements that a REMIC or CDO issuer or a
broker or middleman who holds a REMIC or FASIT regular

Regulations sections 1.6049-7(e) and 1.6049-7(f)(7).

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
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-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.

and you are any of the following:

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. See the
instructions for box 1 on this page.
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.

CAUTION

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

do not check the box at this time. For purposes of the two
notices in 3-years 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 2009
General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 3921, 3922, 5498,

Box 1. Original Issue Discount for 2009
Report the OID on the obligation for the part of the year it was

reported in box 6. For a discussion of WHFITs, WHMTs,
REMICs, FASITs, and CDOs, see the instructions below.

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
Securities in box 3 of Form 1099-INT rather than in box 2 of
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
the amounts in boxes 1 and 2 by the amount of the forfeiture.
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 2009 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 3921,

Report interest on U.S. Savings Bonds on Form
1099-INT. Also report OID on obligations with a term of
1 year or less on Form 1099-INT.

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 2.

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,

Box 1. Original Issue Discount for 2009

Rules for Widely Held Fixed Investment Trusts
(WHFITs) and Widely Held Mortgage Trusts
(WHMTs)

Report in box 1 the aggregate amount of OID includible in the
gross income of each REMIC or FASIT regular interest or CDO
holder for the period during the year for which the return is
made. No amount should be reported in box 6.

Trustees and middlemen must report the gross amount of OID
of the WHFIT that is attributable to the TIH for the calendar year
on Form 1099-OID if that amount exceeds $10. If the trustee
provides WHFIT information using the safe harbor rules in
Regulations section 1.671-5(f)(1) or (g)(1), the trustee or
middleman must determine the amounts reported on Form
1099-OID under Regulations section 1.671-5(f)(2) or (g)(2), as
appropriate.

Box 2. Other Periodic Interest
Report in box 2 any amount of interest, other than OID, accrued
to each REMIC or FASIT regular interest holder or paid to each
CDO holder. 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 2 by the regular interest
holder’s share of investment expenses of the REMIC for the
year.

Reporting OID for a widely held mortgage trust (WHMT). If
a WHMT has a start-up date before August 13, 1998, trustees
and middlemen of the WHMT are not required to report OID
information. If the WHMT has a start-up date on or after August
13, 1998, and on or before January 24, 2006, and the trustee
has attempted in good faith, but without success, to obtain the
historical information required to provide OID information, no
penalties will be imposed if the trustee and middlemen of the
WHMT do not provide OID information. The trustee must
provide a statement to middlemen indicating that the trustee is
not providing OID information because the trustee has
attempted, in good faith, to obtain the information necessary to
calculate OID but has been unsuccessful. See Regulations
section 1.671-5(m)(2).

Box 7. 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-OID 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-OID, including the legend
shown on Copy B of the official Form 1099-OID, 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)(ii). 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.

Requirement to furnish a tax information statement to the
TIH. A tax information statement that includes the information
provided to the IRS on Form 1099-OID, as well as additional
information identified in Regulations section 1.671-5(e) must be
provided to TIHs. The written tax information statement must be
furnished to the TIH by March 15. The amount of an item of a
trust expense that is attributable to a TIH must be included on
the tax information statement provided to the TIH and is not
required to be included in box 7 on the Form 1099-OID.

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.

For more filing requirements, see the 2009 General
Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 3921, 3922, 5498, and
W-2G.

Rules for REMICs, FASITs, and Issuers of CDOs

The statement must be furnished to holders by March 15. To
meet the statement requirement, you may furnish a copy of
Form 1099-OID and a separate statement containing the
additional information to the REMIC or FASIT regular interest or
CDO holder.

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
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.

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 also must file Form 8811,
Information Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment
Conduits (REMICs) and Issuers of Collateralized Debt
Obligations, within 30 days after the startup 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/pub/irs-pdf/
p938.pdf.

exempt recipients including but not limited to the following.
• A corporation.
• A broker.
• A middleman/nominee.
• A financial institution.
• Any IRA or Archer MSA.

interest or a CDO furnish certain information on request, see
Regulations sections 1.6049-7(e) and 1.6049-7(f)(7).

For additional exempt recipients, see Regulations section
