Enter accrued interest

Do the following if you received a Form 1099 for interest as a purchaser of a bond with accrued interest:
  1. Go to the
    Income
    folder and select either the
    B&D
    screen or the
    Broker
    screen. Only use the
    Broker
    screen if you want to enter a consolidated 1099.
  2. Open the
    Interest income
    statement window.
  3. Create a new line item and complete the following columns:
    • FS
      : If the interest is federal-only or state-only, code it as federal or state. Leave this field blank if you need to report the interest on both federal and state levels.
    • TSJ
      : Code the interest to the Taxpayer, the Spouse, or as Joint. If you're here from the
      Broker
      screen, this field doesn't exist because the coding for the Taxpayer, Spouse, or Joint is inherent to the entire
      Broker
      screen. Consequently, the
      Interest Income
      statement automatically picks up the code from there.
    • Payer:
      Enter the payer name.
    • Interest income:
      Enter the total taxable interest income. Don’t include any adjustments for accrued interest or any tax-exempt amounts.
  4. Create another line item and enter the following:
    • For the
      FS
      ,
      TSJ
      , and
      Payer
      fields, repeat the data entry from the previous step.
    • Type Code
      : Enter
      4 - Accrued Interest
      .
    • Interest income
      : Enter the accrued interest as a positive amount.
