Fillable Form 1099-INT (2019)

What is Form 1099-INT?

Form 1099-INT, Interest Income, is a tax form by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that taxpayers use to report interest income.

Payers of interest issue Form 1099-INT to investors by the end of the year. Payers include brokerage firms, banks, and financial institutions. When they pay interest income over $10 to an individual during the year, they need to file Form 1099-INT. They need to file a Form 1099-INT for each recipient of interest income.

According to the IRS, if you are the payer, file Form 1099-INT 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, 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.

If you are an individual who earned more than $10 in interest from a bank, brokerage firm, mutual fund company, or other financial institutions, you will receive Form 1099-INT. Just like any type of Form 1099, Form 1099-INT will serve as a record that a person or entity, that is not your employer, paid you interest income. It will help you calculate the interest income you received from a person or entity.

The payer needs to send Form 1099-INT to recipients no later than January 31 and file with the IRS no later than the last day of February each year.

Form 1099-INT contains several copies that the payer needs to submit or give to the appropriate recipients.

• Copy A — The payer submits Copy A of Form 1099-INT to the Internal Service Revenue.
• Copy B — The payer gives Copy B of Form 1099-INT to the recipient for personal records.
• Copy C — The payer keeps Copy C of Form 1099-INT.
• Copy 1 — The payer submits Copy 1 of Form 1099-INT to the State Tax Department.
• Copy 2 — The payer gives Copy 2 of Form 1099-INT to the recipient for the recipient to file with his or her state income tax return, when required.
