If two or more persons hold property (such as a savings account or bond) as joint tenants, tenants by the entirety, or tenants in common, each person’s share of any interest from the property is determined by local law. Income from property given to a child. Property you give as a parent to your child under the Model Gifts of Securities to Minors Act, the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act, or any similar law becomes the child’s property. Income from the property is taxable to the child, except that any part used to satisfy a legal obligation to support the child is taxable to the parent or guardian having that legal obligation. Savings account with parent as trustee. Interest income from a savings account opened for a minor child but placed in the name and subject to the order of the parents as trustees is taxable to the child if, under the law of the state in which the child resides, both of the following are true. The savings account legally belongs to the child. The parents aren’t legally permitted to use any of the funds to support the child. Form 1099-INT. Interest income is generally reported to you on Form 1099-INT or a similar statement by banks, savings and loans, and other payers of interest. This form shows you the interest income you received during the year. Keep this form for your records. You don’t have to attach it to your tax return. Report on your tax return the total interest income you receive for the tax year. See the Form 1099-INT Instructions for Recipient to see whether you need to adjust any of the amounts reported to you. Interest not reported on Form 1099-INT. Even if you don’t receive a Form 1099-INT, you must still report all of your interest income. For example, you may receive distributive shares of interest from partnerships or S corporations. This interest is reported to you on Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) or Schedule K-1 (Form 1120-S). Nominees. Generally, if someone receives interest as a nominee for you, that person must give you a Form 1099-INT showing the interest received on your behalf. If you receive a Form 1099-INT and interest as a nominee for another person, see the discussion on nominee distributions under How To Report Interest Income in chapter 1 of Pub. 550 or the Schedule B (Form 1040) instructions. Incorrect amount. If you receive a Form 1099-INT that shows an incorrect amount or other incorrect information, you should ask the issuer for a corrected form. The new Form 1099-INT you receive will have the “CORRECTED” box checked. Form 1099-OID. Reportable interest income may also be shown on Form 1099-OID. For more information about amounts shown on this form, see Original Issue Discount (OID) , later in this chapter. .

Exempt-interest dividends you receive from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company (RIC) aren’t included in your taxable income. (However, see Information reporting requirement next.) Exempt-interest dividends should be shown on Form 1099-DIV, box 12. You don’t reduce your basis for distributions that are exempt-interest dividends. Information reporting requirement. Although exempt-interest dividends aren’t taxable, you must show them on your tax return if you have to file. This is an information reporting requirement and doesn’t change the exempt-interest dividends into taxable income. Note: Exempt-interest dividends paid by a mutual fund or other RIC on specified private activity bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The exempt-interest dividends subject to the AMT should be shown on Form 1099-DIV, box 13. See Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in chapter 13 for more information.
