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
Feb 19, 2013

the course of your trade or business described in the

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 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 8 of
Form 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount, not on Form
1099-INT. Report exempt-interest dividends from a
mutual fund or other RIC on Form 1099-DIV.
Nonresident aliens. If you pay U.S. bank deposit
interest of at least $10 to certain nonresident alien
individuals, report the interest on Form 1042-S, Foreign
Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding. To
determine whether an information return is required for
original issue discount, see Treasury Regs. 1.6049-5(f)
and 1.6049-8(a). This interest may be subject to backup
withholding. See the Instructions for Form 1042-S. Also

Information Returns.

Other exception. Do not report tax-deferred interest,

IRA.

TIP

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.
For rules regarding when interest earned by a trust
interest holder (TIH) in a widely held fixed investment trust
(WHFIT) is reportable, see Regulations section 1.671-5.

Payer's RTN (optional). If you are a financial institution
that wishes to participate in the program for direct deposit
of refunds, you may enter your routing and transit number
(RTN).

Box 1. Interest Income

Enter interest not included in box 3. Include amounts of
$10 or more, whether or not designated as interest, that
are paid 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, cooperative banks, homestead
associations, credit unions, or 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 attributable to a trust interest
holder (TIH) of a widely held fixed investment trust
(WHFIT), or accrued by a real estate mortgage investment
conduit (REMIC), a financial asset securitization
investment trust (FASIT) regular interest holder, or paid to
a collateralized debt obligation (CDO) holder, as
explained later.

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 8. 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, see part M in the 2013 General Instructions
for Certain Information Returns. 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.

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.

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 2013
General Instructions for Certain Information Returns.

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.

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-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 2013 General Instructions for Certain
Information Returns for more information.

these bonds sold between interest dates (or on a payment
date).
Any exempt-interest dividends from a mutual fund or
other RIC are reported on Form 1099-DIV.

issued for the tax-exempt bond, leave box 10 blank.

If you make payment on a U.S. Savings Bond or other
U.S. obligation on which interest is reportable, enter your
name, address, and federal identification number on Form

Rules for REMICs, FASITs, and Issuers of CDOs

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

!

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

Archer MSA, Medicare Advantage MSA, HSA, a U.S.
agency, a state, the District of Columbia, a U.S.
possession, or a registered securities or commodities
dealer.

!

CAUTION

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 8. 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 3.

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.

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, see part M in the 2013 General Instructions
for Certain Information Returns.

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.

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 2013
General Instructions for Certain Information Returns.

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
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.
Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and 1099-OID (2013)

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.

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-3years 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 2013

WHFIT that is attributable to the TIH. 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.

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 8 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 2013 General Instructions for Certain
Information Returns.

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 5. Foreign Tax Paid

Enter any foreign tax paid on OID. Report this amount in
U.S. dollars.

Box 6. Foreign Country or U.S. Possession

Enter the name of the foreign country or U.S. possession
for which the foreign tax was paid and reported in box 5.

Box 7. Description

Enter the CUSIP number, if any. If there is no CUSIP
number, enter the abbreviation for the stock exchange,
the abbreviation for the issuer used by the stock
exchange, the coupon rate, and the year of maturity (for
example, NYSE XYZ 121 2 25). If the issuer of the
obligation is other than the payer, show the name of the
issuer.

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 9 on the Form 1099-OID.
For more filing requirements, see the 2013 General
Instructions for Certain Information Returns.

Box 8. 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
