Specific Instructions for Form

File Form 1099-INT, Interest Income, for each person:
Sep 18, 2018
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, later);
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 interest
that is taxable OID in box 1 or 8 of Form 1099-OID,
Original Issue Discount, not on Form 1099-INT. Report
interest that is tax-exempt OID in box 11 of Form
1099-OID, not on Form 1099-INT. Report exempt-interest
dividends from a mutual fund or other regulated
investment company (RIC) on Form 1099-DIV.
For a specified private activity bond with OID, report the
tax-exempt OID in box 11 on Form 1099-OID and the
tax-exempt stated interest in boxes 8 and 9 on Form
1099-INT.
Exceptions to reporting. No Form 1099-INT must 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 individual retirement arrangement (IRA),
Archer medical savings account (MSA), Medicare
Advantage MSA, 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. For situations when you are required to file
Form 1099-INT for certain recipients that are otherwise
generally exempt, but that receive credits from tax credit
bonds, see Interest to holders of tax credit bonds under
Box 1. Interest Income, later.
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
Cat. No. 27980N
payment, or (2) a gross amount for both the interest
payment and the bond premium amortization allocable to
the interest payment. For example, if a taxpayer receives
$20 of taxable interest from a corporate bond and the
amount of bond premium amortization allocable to the
interest is $2, you may report $18 of interest income in
box 1 and $0 in box 11, or you may report $20 of interest
income in box 1 and $2 in box 11. For a noncovered
security acquired with bond premium, you are only
required to report the gross amount of interest.
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.
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.
A credit allowed from tax credit bonds reportable on
Form 1099-INT is treated as paid on the credit allowance
date. For information on credit allowance dates, see
Interest to holders of tax credit bonds under Box 1.
Interest Income, later.
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 2019 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.
Truncating recipient’s TIN. Pursuant to Regulations
section 301.6109-4, all filers of Form 1099-INT may
truncate a recipient’s TIN (social security number (SSN),
individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption
taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer
identification number (EIN)) on payee statements.
Truncation is not allowed on any documents the filer files
with the IRS. A payer's TIN may not be truncated on any
form. See part J in the 2019 General Instructions for
Certain Information Returns.
Reporting interest and OID. If you are reporting
qualified stated interest and OID on any obligation that is
not a specified private activity bond, you may report both
the qualified stated 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 qualified
stated interest in box 2 and the OID in box 1, 8, or 11, as
applicable. However, you may choose to report the
qualified stated interest on Form 1099-INT and the OID on
Form 1099-OID. For a specified private activity bond with
OID, report the tax-exempt OID in box 11 on Form
1099-OID and the tax-exempt stated interest in boxes 8
and 9 on Form 1099-INT.
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. The account number
also is required if you check the “FATCA filing
requirement” box. See FATCA filing requirement
checkbox, later. Additionally, the IRS encourages you to
designate an account number for all Forms 1099-INT that
you file. See part L in the 2019 General Instructions for
Certain Information Returns.
Reporting interest and bond premium. For a covered
security acquired with bond premium, you must report the
amount of bond premium amortization for the tax year.
See Regulations section 1.6045-1(a)(15) to determine if a
debt instrument is a covered security. However, in the
case of a taxable bond, if you have been notified by the
taxpayer that the taxpayer does not elect to amortize bond
premium, you must not report any amount of bond
premium amortization. See Regulations section
1.6045-1(n)(5).
For a covered security acquired with OID and bond
premium, if you choose to report qualified stated interest
in box 2 of Form 1099-OID, you must report any bond
premium amortization on that security in box 10 of Form
1099-OID. You may not report the qualified stated interest
on Form 1099-OID and the bond premium amortization
allocable to the interest on Form 1099-INT.
If you are required to report the amount of bond
premium amortization allocable to an interest payment,
you may report either (1) a net amount of interest that
reflects the offset of the interest payment by the amount of
bond premium amortization allocable to the interest
FATCA filing requirement checkbox. Check the box if
you are a U.S. payer that is reporting on Form(s) 1099
(including reporting payments in boxes 1, 3, 8, 9, and 10
on this Form 1099-INT) as part of satisfying your
requirement to report with respect to a U.S. account for
chapter 4 purposes as described in Regulations section
1.1471-4(d)(2)(iii)(A). In addition, check the box if you are
an FFI reporting payments to a U.S. account pursuant to
an election described in Regulations section 1.1471-4(d)
(5)(i)(A).
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 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 and you are not required to send a

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, later).
• 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.
• A trustee or middleman of a widely held fixed
investment trust (WHFIT) or widely held mortgage trust
(WHMT).
• 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.
Exceptions. You are not required to file Form 1099-OID
for payments made to certain payees including a
corporation, a tax-exempt organization, any individual
retirement arrangement (IRA), an Archer medical savings
account (MSA), Medicare Advantage MSA, health
savings account (HSA), a U.S. agency, a state, the District
of Columbia, a U.S. possession, or a registered securities
or commodities dealer.
!
CAUTION
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
qualified stated interest and OID on an obligation, you
may report both the 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 qualified
stated interest in box 2 and the OID in box 1, 8, or 11, as
applicable. You may choose to report the interest on Form
1099-INT and the OID on Form 1099-OID.
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). In the case of a taxable obligation, 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 and acquisition premium. For a
covered security acquired with acquisition premium, you
must report the amount of acquisition premium
amortization for the tax year. See Regulations section
1.6045-1(a)(15) to determine if a debt instrument is a
covered security. In general, you must use the rules in
Regulations section 1.1272-2(b)(4) to amortize the
acquisition premium. See Regulations section
1.6049-9(c). You may, but are not required to, report the
acquisition premium amortization for a tax-exempt
obligation that is a covered security acquired before
January 1, 2017.
If you are required to report the amount of acquisition
premium amortized for the tax year, you may report either
(1) a net amount of OID that reflects the offset of OID by
the amount of acquisition premium amortization for the
year, or (2) a gross amount for both the OID and the
acquisition premium amortization for the year. For
example, if $20 of OID accrues on a corporate bond
during the year and there is acquisition premium
amortization of $2 for the year, you may report $18 of OID
in box 1 and $0 in box 6, or you may report $20 of OID in
box 1 and $2 in box 6. For a noncovered security acquired
Reporting OID. You must prepare a Form 1099-OID for
each person who is a holder of record of the obligation if
the total daily portions of OID for that person is at least
$10. See the instructions for box 1, later, for taxable OID;
box 8, later, for taxable OID on U.S. Treasury obligations;
and box 11, later, for tax-exempt OID.
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, you can file a single Form 1099-OID only if (1)
they are the same issue, (2) held the same amount of time
during the calendar year, (3) acquired at the same time,
(4) acquired for the same price, and (5) all debt elections
(or lack of elections) are the same for all certificates.
For information about how to compute OID, see
sections 1271–1275 and their regulations and section
1288.

payee provided an incorrect 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 and you are not required to send a
second “B” notice to the taxpayer on receipt of the second
notice. See part N in the 2019 General Instructions for
Certain Information Returns for more information.

election was made, enter the amount of market discount
that accrued on the debt instrument during the tax year in
the amount of $10 or more. For more details, see

Rules for WHFITs and WHMTs
If the OID attributable to a trust interest holder (TIH)
exceeds $10 for the calendar year, trustees and
middlemen must use Form 1099-OID to report both the
gross amount of OID (box 1) and interest (box 2) of the
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 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 qualified stated
interest on the Treasury obligation in box 2. The amount in
box 8 may be a negative number (for example, if a
Treasury Inflation Protected Security has a deflation
adjustment for the year).
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

Reporting OID for a 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).

tax-exempt covered security acquired at a premium, enter
the amount of bond premium amortization allocable to the
interest paid during the tax year. If you are required to
report bond premium amortization and you reported a net
amount of interest in box 2, leave this box blank.
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
