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.

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 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 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 transaction, 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 you file. See part L in the 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.

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-year 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 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G for more information.

  

For information on the TIN matching system offered by the IRS, see page GEN-3 in the 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.

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).

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

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.

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, but if you wish to show a description, use the blank box above box 1.

Interest from clean renewable energy bonds and Gulf bonds.   Report amounts of $10 or more on clean renewable energy bonds and Gulf bonds. Treat these amounts as paid on the credit allowance date. The credit allowance dates are March 15, June 15, September 15, December 15, and the last day on which the bond is 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.

  Generally, interest paid is not required to be reported to the list of recipients below. However, if they are holders of clean renewable energy bonds or Gulf bonds, the interest must be reported.

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.

Enter interest on U.S. Savings Bonds, Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds. Do not include in box 1.

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 1099-INT and Form 1096, Annual Summary and Transmittal of U.S. Information Returns, not those of the U.S. Treasury Department or the Bureau of Public Debt.

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 in the 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.

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.

Original issue discount (OID) on tax-exempt state or local government bonds is treated as tax-exempt interest and is included in box 8.

Include specified private activity bond interest in box 9 and in the total for box 8. See the instruction for box 9 below.

Enter interest of $10 or more of interest from specified private activity bonds. Generally, “specified private activity bond” means any private activity bond defined in section 141 and issued after August 7, 1986. See section 57(a)(5) for more details. Also see the Instructions for Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax—Individuals.

Include exempt-interest dividends paid by a RIC on specified private activity bonds to the extent that the dividends are attributable to interest on the bonds received by the RIC minus an allocable share of the expenses.

These reporting rules apply only to FASITs in existence on October 22, 2004, to the extent that regular interests 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.

For additional exempt recipients, see Regulations section 1.6049-7(c).

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 ¼ 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.

  For a discussion of the reporting requirements for REMICs, FASITs, and CDOs, see the instructions on page INT-4.

  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.

  

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 INT-2.

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.

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.

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 2006 General Instructions for Forms 1099, 1098, 5498, and W-2G.

For single-class REMICs only, see Box 7. Investment Expenses under Rules for REMICs, FASITs, and Issuers of CDOs below.

These reporting rules apply only to FASITs in existence on October 22, 2004, to the extent that regular interests 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.

You are not required to file or issue Form 1099-OID for exempt recipients including but not limited to the following.
