No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
I cashed savings bonds last year. Never got a 1099. Went to my credit union they sent the state gov. the info. I still haven't rec'd a 1099. I know what to claim and wonder if I should without a 1099.

Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
My only gripe with my bank has been that it's like pulling teeth to get a 1099 INT when I cash in the EE bonds. I report the correct amounts and it's been okay so far (of course, maybe the IRS is just waiting to pounce on me for it). Fortunately for me, none of my EE bonds remaining reach final maturity until 2022 so I don't have to think about it for a while.

Savings Bonds
[Thread merged into here, see below. --admin LadyGeek]
If you don't get a 1099 for cashing them, would you still report the interest?

Re: Savings Bonds
Are you serious about this question? The income tax has been around much longer than 1099's and taxpayers have always been required to report all income unless specifically excluded. !099's were imposed to assist in enforcement of the tax law but it didn't change the obligation to report income.coffeehubcap wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:48 am If you don't get a 1099 for cashing them, would you still report the interest?

If you cashed paper bonds at a bank, the bank is supposed to send you a 1099-INT, not the Treasury.
If you cashed e bonds at the TD, you will need to log onto your account to retrieve the 1099. You will not receive it in the mail.
And yes, do report the interest with or without 1099.

In fact, I have. I'm in my mid-30s now, and family gave me a bunch of Series EE bonds when I was very young (<=4). As they reach final maturity, I have been depositing them ... and reporting the interest, despite my bank being hit or miss on giving a 1099 for them.

Re: Savings Bonds
Which also means the IRS will have a 1099 for you and will be looking for the item on your tax return even if you don't have your 1099.HueyLD wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 10:09 amPaper or e bonds?coffeehubcap wrote: ↑Mon Mar 05, 2018 9:48 am If you don't get a 1099 for cashing them, would you still report the interest?

FYI - I merged coffeehubcap's question back into the original, which is a similar discussion.

Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
Thank you LadyGeek....I already made out my taxes and included the interest. My concern was with no 1099, would I be looking at amending my taxes. I know I'm responsible.
Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
I'm reviving this topic... I just realized I did not receive a 1099 for the paper EE savings bonds I cashed in last year at my credit union. How do I report this in Turbotax if I don't have a 1099? I think the interest was more than $10,000.
Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
Contact your credit union for the 1099-INT.
Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
Don't you know the exact amount of interest? It's the difference between the proceeds you received at redemption and the price you paid for the bonds.

Wells Fargo gives me a paper tax receipt when I cash them so I don't have to wait for a 1099. It specifically says "Retain for your tax records" and is in addition to the normal deposit receipt.

Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
Is the question that you don't know the actual amount and need to find out or figure it out? Or that you know the amount and would like to know the mechanics of reporting the interest in TT without an official 1099-INT form to enter into the system?
If you have to ask "Is a Target Date fund right for me?", the answer is "Yes" (even in taxable accounts).
Re: No 1099 on cashed savings bonds
Yes--I know the actual amount (I figured out the interest on treasurydirect.gove a spreadsheet and the credit union gave me a printout that agreed with my spreadsheet).neurosphere wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 10:51 amIs the question that you don't know the actual amount and need to find out or figure it out?

I am wondering about the mechanics of reporting the interest in TT without an official 1099-INT to enter into the system, thank you.

“ If you received less than $10 in interest from your financial institution, they're not required to send you Form 1099-INT, but you're still supposed to report the interest.
Although you didn't get a 1099-INT, report the interest in the 1099-INT section:
Open your return (or continue if it's not already open).
In the upper right menu, select and search for 1099-INT or 1099INT (lower-case also works).
Select the Jump to link in the search results.
Answer Yes to Did you receive any interest income?
If you see Review your 1099-INT info, select Add another 1099-INT or select Review next to the correct 1099-INT.
On the following screen, select I'll type it in myself or Continue.
On the next screen, input the required information.
Select Continue.

UPDATE: My credit union was able to send me a PDF of the 1099-INT. Whew.
