Is it legally required to report interest income on Form 1040 for amounts too small to have had a 1099-INT generated?
I have several savings accounts, and some of the interest received by me is only a couple of dollars, so there is no 1099-INT.
In the past, doing my taxes longhand, I always listed ALL my interest income on Schedule B, no matter how small the amounts.
This year, I am using taxactonline.com, but I cannot find a place to enter the interest amounts for which I received no 1099-INT.
Please don't reply with, "The IRS doesn't know about the interest if a 1099-INT wasn't generated, so don't bother to report it." I want to know if the IRS requires ALL interest to be reported.
If all interest must be reported, is Schedule B the right place to list it (I have always done that in the past)?
Finally, if the interest must be reported, does anyone know where on taxactonline.com the amounts should be input?
Thanks for any and all help!
