The Internal Revenue Service requires banks, credit unions
and other interest-paying companies to send an IRS Form 1099-INT to taxpayers
if they earned more than $10 in interest payments during the tax year.
Taxpayers who own U.S. Savings Bonds and Treasury bills will also receive the
form from the federal government if they earned more than $10 of interest
during the year. If you misplace your 1099-INT form or did not receive a copy,
you can contact your bank or the IRS to obtain a replacement copy, or to report
non-receipt
Contact your bank or payer if you never received a form or
misplaced your 1099-INT. Payers must mail you their forms by January 31. The
IRS also requires payers to file their forms with the IRS by the end of
February, if they file paper copies. Otherwise, they have until the end of
March to file their forms with the IRS.
Ask your bank to mail you a replacement copy or original
copy of the form.
Review your bank statements to obtain your interest
earnings. Your bank may provide you with an annual summary of interest payments
at the end of the year. Since the IRS does not require you to attach your
1099-INT forms to your tax returns, the form only serves an informational
purpose. As such, you may be able to get your interest information from your
bank statements.
Contact the IRS if you do not receive your form by February
15. You can call the agency's toll-free hotline at 800-829-1040 and report your
missing form. The IRS will attempt to collect it on your behalf by contacting
the payer directly.

Return.
Complete IRS Form 4506-T by providing your name, Social
Security number, address and joint return information, if you filed a joint
return with your spouse.
Enter "Form 1040" on line 6. Since the IRS does
not keep copies of 1099-INT forms, the only way you can receive a replacement copy
is if you filed it with your tax returns as an attachment. Otherwise, you must
contact the payer directly.
Sign your form.
Send you form to the nearest IRS service center listed on
