Specific Instructions
TIP
You can list more than one payer on
each entry space for lines 1 and 5, but
e sure to clearly show the amount paid
next to the payer's name. Add the
separate amounts paid by the payers
listed on an entry space and enter the total in the
“Amount” column. If you still need more space, attach
separate statements using the same format as lines 1
and 5, but show your totals on Schedule B. Put your
name and social security number (SSN) on the
statements and attach them at the end of your return.
Part I. Interest
Line 1. Report on line 1 all of your taxable interest.
Taxable interest generally should be shown on your
Forms 1099-INT, Forms 1099-OID, or substitute
statements. Include interest from series EE, H, HH,
and I U.S. savings bonds. Also include any accrued
market discount that is includible in income. List each
payer’s name and show the amount. Don't report on
this line any tax-exempt interest from box 8 or box 9
of Form 1099-INT. Instead, report the amount from
ox 8 on line 8b of Form 1040A or 1040. If an amount
is shown in box 9 of Form 1099-INT, you generally
must report it on line 12 of Form 6251. See the
Instructions for Form 6251 for more details. For more
information on market discount and other investment
income, see Pub. 550.
Seller-financed mortgages. If you sold your
home or other property and the buyer used the
property as a personal residence, list first any
interest the buyer paid you on a mortgage or other
form of seller financing. Be sure to show the buyer’s
name, address, and SSN. You must also let the
uyer know your SSN. If you don't show the buyer’s
name, address, and SSN, or let the buyer know your
SSN, you may have to pay a $50 penalty.
Nominees. If you received a Form 1099-INT that
includes interest you received as a nominee (that is, in
your name, but the interest actually belongs to
someone else), report the total on line 1. Do this even
if you later distributed some or all of this income to
others. Under your last entry on line 1, put a subtotal
of all interest listed on line 1. Below this subtotal, enter
“Nominee Distribution” and show the total interest you
eceived as a nominee. Subtract this amount from the
subtotal and enter the result on line 2.
TIP
If you received interest as a nominee,
you must give the actual owner a Form
1099-INT (unless the owner is your
spouse) and file Forms 1096 and
1099-INT with the IRS. For more details,
see the General Instructions for Certain Information
Returns and the Instructions for Forms 1099-INT and
1099-OID.
Accrued interest. When you buy bonds between
interest payment dates and pay accrued interest to
the seller, this interest is taxable to the seller. If you
eceived a Form 1099 for interest as a purchaser of a
ond with accrued interest, follow the rules earlier
under Nominees to see how to report the accrued
interest. But identify the amount to be subtracted as
“Accrued Interest.”
Original issue discount (OID). If you are reporting
OID in an amount less than the amount shown on
Form 1099-OID, follow the rules earlier under
Nominees to see how to report the OID. But identify
the amount to be subtracted as “OID Adjustment.”
Amortizable bond premium. If you are reducing your
interest income on a bond by the amount of amortizable
ond premium, follow the rules earlier under Nominees
to see how to report the interest. But identify the amount
to be subtracted as “ABP Adjustment.”
Line 3. If, during 2016, you cashed series EE or I
U.S. savings bonds issued after 1989 and you paid
qualified higher education expenses for yourself,
your spouse, or your dependents, you may be able
to exclude part or all of the interest on those bonds.
See Form 8815 for details.

TIP
You may have to file Form 5471 if, in
2016, you were an officer or director of
a foreign corporation. You may also
have to file Form 5471 if, in 2016, you
