2010 1040 tax forms 2. 2010 1040 tax forms Foreclosures and Repossessions Table of Contents Amount realized and ordinary income on a recourse debt. 2010 1040 tax forms Amount realized on a nonrecourse debt. 2010 1040 tax forms If you do not make payments you owe on a loan secured by property, the lender may foreclose on the loan or repossess the property. 2010 1040 tax forms The foreclosure or repossession is treated as a sale from which you may realize gain or loss. 2010 1040 tax forms This is true even if you voluntarily return the property to the lender. 2010 1040 tax forms If the outstanding loan balance was more than the FMV of the property and the lender cancels all or part of the remaining loan balance, you also may realize ordinary income from the cancellation of debt. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report this income on your return unless certain exceptions or exclusions apply. 2010 1040 tax forms See chapter 1 for more details. 2010 1040 tax forms Borrower's gain or loss. 2010 1040 tax forms You figure and report gain or loss from a foreclosure or repossession in the same way as gain or loss from a sale. 2010 1040 tax forms The gain is the difference between the amount realized and your adjusted basis in the transferred property (amount realized minus adjusted basis). 2010 1040 tax forms The loss is the difference between your adjusted basis in the transferred property and the amount realized (adjusted basis minus amount realized). 2010 1040 tax forms For more information on figuring gain or loss from the sale of property, see Gain or Loss From Sales and Exchanges in Publication 544. 2010 1040 tax forms You can use Table 1-1 to figure your ordinary income from the cancellation of debt and your gain or loss from a foreclosure or repossession. 2010 1040 tax forms Amount realized and ordinary income on a recourse debt. 2010 1040 tax forms If you are personally liable for the debt, the amount realized on the foreclosure or repossession includes the smaller of: The outstanding debt immediately before the transfer reduced by any amount for which you remain personally liable immediately after the transfer, or The FMV of the transferred property. 2010 1040 tax forms The amount realized also includes any proceeds you received from the foreclosure sale. 2010 1040 tax forms If the FMV of the transferred property is less than the total outstanding debt immediately before the transfer reduced by any amount for which you remain personally liable immediately after the transfer, the difference is ordinary income from the cancellation of debt. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report this income on your return unless certain exceptions or exclusions apply. 2010 1040 tax forms See chapter 1 for more details. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 1. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara bought a new car for $15,000. 2010 1040 tax forms She made a $2,000 downpayment and borrowed the remaining $13,000 from the dealer's credit company. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara is personally liable for the loan (recourse debt) and the car is pledged as security for the loan. 2010 1040 tax forms On August 1, 2013, the credit company repossessed the car because Tara had stopped making loan payments. 2010 1040 tax forms The balance due after taking into account the payments Tara made was $10,000. 2010 1040 tax forms The FMV of the car when it was repossessed was $9,000. 2010 1040 tax forms On November 15, 2013, the credit company forgave the remaining $1,000 balance on the loan due to insufficient assets. 2010 1040 tax forms In this case, the amount Tara realizes is $9,000. 2010 1040 tax forms This is the smaller of: The $10,000 outstanding debt immediately before the repossession reduced by the $1,000 for which she remains personally liable immediately after the repossession ($10,000 − $1,000 = $9,000), or The $9,000 FMV of the car. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara figures her gain or loss on the repossession by comparing the $9,000 amount realized with her $15,000 adjusted basis. 2010 1040 tax forms She has a $6,000 nondeductible loss. 2010 1040 tax forms After the cancellation of the remaining balance on the loan in November, Tara also has ordinary income from cancellation of debt in the amount of $1,000 (the remaining balance on the $10,000 loan after the $9,000 amount satisfied by the FMV of the repossessed car). 2010 1040 tax forms Tara must report this $1,000 on her return unless one of the exceptions or exclusions described in chapter 1 applies. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 2. 2010 1040 tax forms Lili paid $200,000 for her home. 2010 1040 tax forms She made a $15,000 downpayment and borrowed the remaining $185,000 from a bank. 2010 1040 tax forms Lili is personally liable for the mortgage loan and the house secures the loan. 2010 1040 tax forms In 2013, the bank foreclosed on the mortgage because Lili stopped making payments. 2010 1040 tax forms When the bank foreclosed the mortgage, the balance due was $180,000, the FMV of the house was $170,000, and Lili's adjusted basis was $175,000 due to a casualty loss she had deducted. 2010 1040 tax forms At the time of the foreclosure, the bank forgave $2,000 of the $10,000 debt in excess of the FMV ($180,000 minus $170,000). 2010 1040 tax forms She remained personally liable for the $8,000 balance. 2010 1040 tax forms In this case, Lili has ordinary income from the cancellation of debt in the amount of $2,000. 2010 1040 tax forms The $2,000 income from the cancellation of debt is figured by subtracting the $170,000 FMV of the house from the $172,000 difference between her total outstanding debt immediately before the transfer of property and the amount for which she remains personally liable immediately after the transfer ($180,000 minus $8,000). 2010 1040 tax forms She is able to exclude the $2,000 of canceled debt from her income under the qualified principal residence indebtedness rules discussed earlier. 2010 1040 tax forms Lili must also determine her gain or loss from the foreclosure. 2010 1040 tax forms In this case, the amount that she realizes is $170,000. 2010 1040 tax forms This is the smaller of: (a) the $180,000 outstanding debt immediately before the transfer reduced by the $8,000 for which she remains personally liable immediately after the transfer ($180,000 − $8,000 = $172,000) or (b) the $170,000 FMV of the house. 2010 1040 tax forms Lili figures her gain or loss on the foreclosure by comparing the $170,000 amount realized with her $175,000 adjusted basis. 2010 1040 tax forms She has a $5,000 nondeductible loss. 2010 1040 tax forms Table 1-1. 2010 1040 tax forms Worksheet for Foreclosures and Repossessions Part 1. 2010 1040 tax forms Complete Part 1 only if you were personally liable for the debt (even if none of the debt was canceled). 2010 1040 tax forms Otherwise, go to Part 2. 2010 1040 tax forms 1. 2010 1040 tax forms Enter the amount of outstanding debt immediately before the transfer of property reduced by any amount for which you remain personally liable immediately after the transfer of property 2. 2010 1040 tax forms Enter the fair market value of the transferred property 3. 2010 1040 tax forms Ordinary income from the cancellation of debt upon foreclosure or repossession. 2010 1040 tax forms * Subtract line 2 from line 1. 2010 1040 tax forms If less than zero, enter zero. 2010 1040 tax forms Next, go to Part 2 Part 2. 2010 1040 tax forms Gain or loss from foreclosure or repossession. 2010 1040 tax forms 4. 2010 1040 tax forms Enter the smaller of line 1 or line 2. 2010 1040 tax forms If you did not complete Part 1 (because you were not personally liable for the debt), enter the amount of outstanding debt immediately before the transfer of property 5. 2010 1040 tax forms Enter any proceeds you received from the foreclosure sale 6. 2010 1040 tax forms Add line 4 and line 5 7. 2010 1040 tax forms Enter the adjusted basis of the transferred property 8. 2010 1040 tax forms Gain or loss from foreclosure or repossession. 2010 1040 tax forms Subtract line 7 from line 6 * The income may not be taxable. 2010 1040 tax forms See chapter 1 for more details. 2010 1040 tax forms Amount realized on a nonrecourse debt. 2010 1040 tax forms If you are not personally liable for repaying the debt secured by the transferred property, the amount you realize includes the full amount of the outstanding debt immediately before the transfer. 2010 1040 tax forms This is true even if the FMV of the property is less than the outstanding debt immediately before the transfer. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 1. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara bought a new car for $15,000. 2010 1040 tax forms She made a $2,000 downpayment and borrowed the remaining $13,000 from the dealer's credit company. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara is not personally liable for the loan (nonrecourse), but pledged the new car as security for the loan. 2010 1040 tax forms On August 1, 2013, the credit company repossessed the car because Tara had stopped making loan payments. 2010 1040 tax forms The balance due after taking into account the payments Tara made was $10,000. 2010 1040 tax forms The FMV of the car when it was repossessed was $9,000. 2010 1040 tax forms The amount Tara realized on the repossession is $10,000. 2010 1040 tax forms That is the outstanding amount of debt immediately before the repossession, even though the FMV of the car is less than $10,000. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara figures her gain or loss on the repossession by comparing the $10,000 amount realized with her $15,000 adjusted basis. 2010 1040 tax forms Tara has a $5,000 nondeductible loss. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 2. 2010 1040 tax forms Lili paid $200,000 for her home. 2010 1040 tax forms She made a $15,000 downpayment and borrowed the remaining $185,000 from a bank. 2010 1040 tax forms She is not personally liable for the loan, but grants the bank a mortgage. 2010 1040 tax forms The bank foreclosed on the mortgage because Lili stopped making payments. 2010 1040 tax forms When the bank foreclosed on the mortgage, the balance due was $180,000, the FMV of the house was $170,000, and Lili's adjusted basis was $175,000 due to a casualty loss she had deducted. 2010 1040 tax forms The amount Lili realized on the foreclosure is $180,000, the outstanding debt immediately before the foreclosure. 2010 1040 tax forms She figures her gain or loss by comparing the $180,000 amount realized with her $175,000 adjusted basis. 2010 1040 tax forms Lili has a $5,000 realized gain. 2010 1040 tax forms See Publication 523 to figure and report any taxable amount. 2010 1040 tax forms Forms 1099-A and 1099-C. 2010 1040 tax forms A lender who acquires an interest in your property in a foreclosure or repossession should send you Form 1099-A, Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property, showing information you need to figure your gain or loss. 2010 1040 tax forms However, if the lender also cancels part of your debt and must file Form 1099-C, the lender can include the information about the foreclosure or repossession on that form instead of on Form 1099-A. 2010 1040 tax forms The lender must file Form 1099-C and send you a copy if the amount of debt canceled is $600 or more and the lender is a financial institution, credit union, federal government agency, or any organization that has a significant trade or business of lending money. 2010 1040 tax forms For foreclosures or repossessions occurring in 2013, these forms should be sent to you by January 31, 2014.

What interest is taxable and what interest is nontaxable. 2010 1040 tax forms When to report interest income. 2010 1040 tax forms How to report interest income on your tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms In general, any interest you receive or that is credited to your account and can be withdrawn is taxable income. 2010 1040 tax forms Exceptions to this rule are discussed later in this chapter. 2010

year. 2010 1040 tax forms Also, keep the forms you receive showing your interest income (Forms 1099-INT, for example) as an important part of your records. 2010 1040 tax forms Tax on unearned income of certain children. 2010 1040 tax forms Part of a child's 2013 unearned income may be taxed at the parent's tax rate. 2010 1040 tax forms If so, Form 8615, Tax for Certain Children Who Have Unearned Income, must be completed and attached to the child's tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms If not, Form 8615 is not required and the child's income is taxed at his or her own tax rate. 2010 1040 tax forms Some parents can choose to include the child's interest and dividends on the parent's return. 2010 1040 tax forms If you can, use Form 8814, Parents' Election To Report Child's Interest and Dividends, for this purpose. 2010 1040 tax forms For more information about the tax on unearned income of children and the parents' election, see chapter 31. 2010 1040 tax forms Beneficiary of an estate or

federal tax law to make a return, statement, or other document that relates to you. 2010 1040 tax forms This includes payers of interest. 2010 1040 tax forms If you do not give your SSN or ITIN to the payer of interest, you may have to pay a penalty. 2010 1040 tax forms SSN for joint account. 2010 1040 tax forms If the funds in a joint account belong to one person, list that person's name first on the account and give that person's SSN to the payer. 2010 1040 tax forms (For information on who owns the funds in a joint account, see Joint accounts , later. 2010 1040 tax forms ) If the joint account contains combined funds, give the SSN of the person whose name is listed first on the account. 2010 1040 tax forms This is because only one name and SSN can be shown on Form 1099. 2010 1040 tax forms These rules apply both to joint ownership by a married couple and to joint ownership by other individuals. 2010 1040 tax forms For example, if you open a joint savings account with your child using funds belonging to the child, list the child's name first on the account and give the child's SSN. 2010 1040 tax forms Custodian account for your child. 2010 1040 tax forms If your child

your SSN to the payer of interest, you may have to pay a penalty. 2010 1040 tax forms See Failure to supply SSN under Penalties in chapter 1. 2010 1040 tax forms Backup withholding also may apply. 2010 1040 tax forms Backup withholding. 2010 1040 tax forms Your interest income is generally not subject to regular withholding. 2010 1040 tax forms However, it may be subject to backup withholding to ensure that income tax is collected on the income. 2010 1040 tax forms Under backup withholding, the payer of interest must withhold, as income tax, on the amount you are paid, applying the appropriate withholding rate. 2010 1040 tax forms Backup withholding may also be required if the IRS has determined that you underreported your interest or dividend income. 2010 1040 tax forms For more information, see Backup Withholding in chapter 4. 2010 1040 tax forms Reporting backup withholding. 2010 1040 tax forms If backup withholding is deducted from your interest income, the payer must give you a Form 1099-INT for the year indicating the amount withheld. 2010 1040 tax forms The Form 1099-INT will show any backup withholding as “Federal income tax withheld. 2010 1040 tax forms ” Joint accounts. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms Income from property given to a child. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms Savings account with parent as trustee. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms The savings account legally belongs to the child. 2010 1040 tax forms The parents are not legally permitted to use any of the funds to support the child. 2010 1040 tax forms Form 1099-INT. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms This form shows you the interest you received during the year. 2010 1040 tax forms Keep this form for your records. 2010 1040 tax forms You do not have to attach it to your tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms Report on your tax return the total interest income you receive for the tax year. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest not reported on Form 1099-INT. 2010 1040 tax forms Even if you do not receive Form 1099-INT, you must still report all of your interest income. 2010 1040 tax forms For example, you may receive distributive shares of interest from partnerships or S corporations. 2010 1040 tax forms This interest is reported to you on Schedule K-1 (Form 1065), Partner's Share of Income, Deduction, Credits, etc. 2010 1040 tax forms , or Schedule K-1 (Form 1120S), Shareholder's Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc. 2010 1040 tax forms Nominees. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms If you receive a Form 1099-INT that includes amounts belonging to another person, see the discussion on nominee distributions under How To Report Interest Income in chapter 1 of Publication 550, or Schedule B (Form 1040A or 1040) instructions. 2010 1040 tax forms Incorrect amount. 2010 1040 tax forms 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. 2010 1040 tax forms The new Form 1099-INT you receive will be marked “Corrected. 2010 1040 tax forms ” Form 1099-OID. 2010 1040 tax forms Reportable interest income also may be shown on Form 1099-OID, Original Issue Discount. 2010 1040 tax forms For more information about amounts shown on this form, see Original Issue Discount (OID) , later in this chapter. 2010 1040 tax forms Exempt-interest dividends. 2010 1040 tax forms Exempt-interest dividends you receive from a mutual fund or other regulated investment company, including those received from a qualified fund of funds in any tax year beginning after December 22, 2010, are not included in your taxable income. 2010 1040 tax forms (However, see Information reporting requirement , next. 2010 1040 tax forms ) Exempt-interest dividends should be shown in box 10 of Form 1099-DIV. 2010 1040 tax forms You do not reduce your basis for distributions that are exempt-interest dividends. 2010 1040 tax forms Information reporting requirement. 2010 1040 tax forms Although exempt-interest dividends are not taxable, you must show them on your tax return if you have to file. 2010 1040 tax forms This is an information reporting requirement and does not change the exempt-interest dividends into taxable income. 2010 1040 tax forms Note. 2010 1040 tax forms Exempt-interest dividends paid from specified private activity bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. 2010 1040 tax forms See Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) in chapter 30 for more information. 2010 1040 tax forms Chapter 1 of Publication 550 contains a discussion on private activity bonds under State or Local Government Obligations. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on VA dividends. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on insurance dividends left on deposit with the Department of Veterans Affairs

interest you receive from bank accounts, loans you make to others, and other sources. 2010 1040 tax forms The following are some sources of taxable interest. 2010 1040 tax forms Dividends that are actually interest. 2010 1040 tax forms Certain distributions commonly called dividends are actually interest. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report as interest so-called “dividends” on deposits or on share accounts in: Cooperative banks, Credit unions, Domestic building and loan associations, Domestic savings and loan associations, Federal savings and loan associations, and Mutual savings banks. 2010 1040 tax forms The “dividends” will be shown as interest income on Form 1099-INT. 2010 1040 tax forms Money market funds. 2010 1040 tax forms Money market funds pay dividends and are offered by nonbank financial institutions, such as mutual funds and stock brokerage houses. 2010 1040 tax forms Generally, amounts you receive from money market funds should be reported as dividends, not as interest. 2010 1040 tax forms Certificates of deposit and other deferred interest accounts. 2010 1040 tax forms If you open any of these accounts, interest may be paid at fixed intervals of 1 year or less during the term of the account. 2010 1040 tax forms You generally must include this interest in your income when you actually receive it or are entitled to receive it without paying a substantial penalty. 2010 1040 tax forms The same is true for accounts that mature in 1 year or less and pay interest in a single payment at maturity. 2010 1040 tax forms If interest is deferred for more than 1 year, see Original Issue Discount (OID) , later. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest subject to penalty for early withdrawal. 2010 1040 tax forms If you withdraw funds from a deferred interest account before

tax forms See Penalty on early withdrawal of savings in chapter 1 of Publication 550 for more information on how to report the interest and deduct the penalty. 2010 1040 tax forms Money borrowed to invest in certificate of deposit. 2010 1040 tax forms The interest you pay on money borrowed from a bank or savings institution to meet the minimum deposit required for a certificate of deposit from the institution and the interest you earn on the certificate are two separate items. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report the total interest you earn on the certificate in your income. 2010 1040 tax forms If you itemize deductions, you can deduct the interest you pay as investment interest, up to the amount of your net investment income. 2010 1040 tax forms See Interest Expenses in chapter 3 of Publication 550. 2010 1040 tax forms Example. 2010 1040 tax forms You deposited $5,000 with a bank and borrowed $5,000 from the bank to make up the $10,000 minimum deposit required to buy a 6-month certificate of deposit. 2010 1040 tax forms The certificate earned $575 at maturity in 2013, but you received only $265, which represented the $575 you earned minus $310 interest charged on your $5,000 loan. 2010 1040 tax forms The bank gives you a Form 1099-INT for 2013 showing the $575 interest you earned. 2010 1040 tax forms The bank also gives you a statement showing that you paid $310 interest for 2013. 2010 1040 tax forms You must include the $575 in your income. 2010 1040 tax forms If you itemize your deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), you can deduct $310, subject to the net investment income limit. 2010 1040 tax forms Gift for opening account. 2010 1040 tax forms If you receive noncash gifts or services for making deposits or for opening an account in a savings institution, you may have to report the value as interest. 2010 1040 tax forms For deposits of less than $5,000, gifts or services valued at more than $10 must be reported as interest. 2010 1040 tax forms For deposits of $5,000 or more, gifts or services valued at more than $20 must be reported as interest. 2010 1040 tax forms The value is determined by the cost to the financial institution. 2010 1040 tax forms Example. 2010 1040 tax forms You open a savings account at your local bank and deposit $800. 2010 1040 tax forms The account earns $20 interest. 2010 1040 tax forms You also receive a $15 calculator. 2010 1040 tax forms If no other interest is credited to your account during the year, the Form 1099-INT you receive will show $35 interest for the year. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report $35 interest income on your tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on insurance dividends. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on insurance dividends left on deposit with an insurance company that can be withdrawn annually is taxable to you in the year it is credited to your account. 2010 1040 tax forms However, if you can withdraw it only on the anniversary date of the policy (or other specified date), the interest is taxable in the year that date occurs. 2010 1040 tax forms Prepaid insurance premiums. 2010 1040 tax forms Any increase in the value of prepaid insurance premiums, advance premiums, or premium deposit funds is interest if it is applied to the payment of premiums due on insurance policies or made available for you to withdraw. 2010 1040 tax forms U. 2010 1040 tax forms S. 2010 1040 tax forms obligations. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on U. 2010 1040 tax forms S. 2010 1040 tax forms obligations, such as U. 2010 1040 tax forms S. 2010 1040 tax forms Treasury

Interest you receive on tax refunds is taxable income. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on condemnation award. 2010 1040 tax forms If the condemning authority pays you interest to compensate you for a delay in payment of an award, the interest is taxable. 2010 1040 tax forms Installment sale payments. 2010 1040 tax forms If a contract for the sale or exchange of property provides for deferred payments, it also usually provides for interest payable with the deferred payments. 2010 1040 tax forms That interest is taxable when you receive it. 2010 1040 tax forms If little or no interest is provided for in a deferred payment contract, part of each payment may be treated as interest. 2010 1040 tax forms See Unstated Interest and Original Issue Discount in Publication 537, Installment Sales. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest on annuity contract. 2010 1040 tax forms Accumulated interest on an annuity contract you sell before its maturity date is taxable. 2010 1040 tax forms Usurious interest. 2010 1040 tax forms Usurious interest is interest charged at an illegal rate. 2010 1040 tax forms This is taxable as interest unless state law automatically changes it to a payment on the principal. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest income on frozen deposits. 2010 1040 tax forms Exclude from your gross income interest on frozen deposits. 2010 1040 tax forms A deposit is frozen if, at the end of the year, you cannot withdraw any part of the deposit because: The financial institution is bankrupt or insolvent, or The state where the institution is located has placed limits on withdrawals because other financial institutions in the state are bankrupt or insolvent. 2010 1040 tax forms The amount of interest you must exclude is the interest that was credited on the frozen deposits minus the sum of: The net amount you withdrew from these deposits during the year, and The amount you could have withdrawn as of the end of the year (not reduced by any penalty for premature withdrawals of a time deposit). 2010 1040 tax forms If you receive a Form 1099-INT for interest income on deposits that were frozen at the end of 2013, see Frozen deposits under How To Report Interest Income in chapter 1 of Publication 550, for information about reporting this interest income exclusion on your tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms The interest you exclude is treated as credited to your account in the following year. 2010 1040 tax forms You must include it in income in the year you can withdraw it. 2010 1040 tax forms Example. 2010 1040 tax forms $100 of interest was credited on your frozen deposit during the year. 2010 1040 tax forms You withdrew $80 but could not withdraw any more as of the end of the year. 2010 1040 tax forms You must include $80 in your income and exclude $20 from your income for the year. 2010 1040 tax forms You must include the $20 in your income for the year you can withdraw it. 2010 1040 tax forms Bonds traded flat. 2010 1040 tax forms If you buy a bond at a discount when interest has been defaulted or when the interest has accrued but has not been paid, the transaction is described as trading a bond flat. 2010 1040 tax forms The defaulted or unpaid interest is not income and is not taxable as interest if paid later. 2010 1040 tax forms When you receive a payment of that interest, it is a return of capital that reduces the remaining cost basis of your bond. 2010 1040 tax forms Interest that accrues after the date of purchase, however, is taxable interest income for the year it is received or accrued. 2010 1040 tax forms See Bonds Sold Between Interest Dates , later, for more information. 2010 1040 tax forms Below-market loans. 2010 1040 tax forms In general, a below-market loan is a loan on which no interest is charged or on which interest

matured in 2010. 2010 1040 tax forms If you used method 1, you generally should have reported the interest on these bonds on your 2010 return. 2010 1040 tax forms Method 2. 2010 1040 tax forms Choose to report the increase in redemption value as interest each year. 2010 1040 tax forms You must use the same method for all series EE, series E, and series I bonds you own. 2010 1040 tax forms If you do not choose method 2 by reporting the increase in redemption value as interest each year, you must use method 1. 2010 1040 tax forms If you plan to cash your bonds in the same year you will pay for

2010 1040 tax forms If a U. 2010 1040 tax forms S. 2010 1040 tax forms savings bond is issued in the names of co-owners, such as you and your child or you and your spouse, interest on the bond is generally taxable to the co-owner who bought the bond. 2010 1040 tax forms One co-owner's funds used. 2010 1040 tax forms If you used your funds to buy the bond, you must pay the tax on the interest. 2010 1040 tax forms This is true even if you let the other co-owner redeem the bond and keep all the proceeds. 2010 1040 tax forms Under these circumstances, the co-owner who redeemed the bond will receive a Form 1099-INT at the time of redemption and must provide you with another Form 1099-INT showing the amount of interest from the bond taxable to you. 2010 1040 tax forms The co-owner who redeemed the bond is a “nominee. 2010 1040 tax forms ” See Nominee distributions under How To Report Interest Income in chapter 1 of Publication 550 for more information about how a person who is a nominee reports interest income belonging to another person. 2010 1040 tax forms Both co-owners' funds used. 2010 1040 tax forms If you and the other co-owner each contribute part of the bond's purchase price, the interest is generally taxable to each of you, in proportion to the amount each of you paid. 2010 1040 tax forms Community property. 2010 1040 tax forms If you and your spouse live in a community property state and hold bonds as community property, one-half of the interest is considered received by each of you. 2010 1040 tax forms If you file separate returns, each of you generally must report one-half of the bond interest. 2010 1040 tax forms For more information about community property, see Publication 555. 2010 1040 tax forms Table 7-1. 2010 1040 tax forms These rules are also shown in Table 7-1. 2010 1040 tax forms Ownership transferred. 2010 1040 tax forms If you bought series E, series EE, or series I bonds entirely with your own funds and had them reissued in your co-owner's name or beneficiary's name alone, you must include in your gross income for the year of reissue all interest that you earned on these bonds and have not previously reported. 2010 1040 tax forms But, if the bonds were reissued in your name alone, you do not have to report the interest accrued at that time. 2010 1040 tax forms This same rule applies when bonds (other than bonds held as community property) are transferred between spouses or incident to divorce. 2010 1040 tax forms Purchased jointly. 2010 1040 tax forms If you and a co-owner each contributed funds to buy series E, series EE, or series I bonds jointly and later have the bonds reissued in the co-owner's name alone, you must include in your gross income for the year of reissue your share of all the interest earned on the bonds that you have not previously reported. 2010 1040 tax forms The former co-owner does not have to include in gross income at the time of reissue his or her share of the interest earned that was not reported before the transfer. 2010 1040 tax forms This interest, however, as well as all interest earned after the reissue, is income to the former co-owner. 2010 1040 tax forms This income-reporting rule also applies when the bonds are reissued in the name of your former co-owner and a new co-owner. 2010 1040 tax forms But the new co-owner will report only his or her share of the interest earned after the transfer. 2010 1040 tax forms If bonds that you and a co-owner bought jointly are reissued to each of you separately in the same proportion as your contribution to the purchase price, neither you nor your co-owner has to report at that time the interest earned before the bonds were reissued. 2010 1040 tax forms Table 7-1. 2010 1040 tax forms Who

community property you and your spouse. 2010 1040 tax forms If you file separate returns, both you and your spouse generally report one-half of the interest. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 1. 2010 1040 tax forms You and your spouse each spent an equal amount to buy a $1,000 series EE savings bond. 2010 1040 tax forms The bond was issued to you and your spouse as co-owners. 2010 1040 tax forms You both postpone reporting interest on the bond. 2010 1040 tax forms You later have the bond reissued as two $500 bonds, one in your name and one in your spouse's name. 2010 1040 tax forms At that time neither you nor your spouse has to report the interest earned to the date of reissue. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 2. 2010 1040 tax forms You bought a $1,000 series EE savings bond entirely with your own funds. 2010 1040 tax forms The bond was issued to you and your spouse as co-owners. 2010 1040 tax forms You both postpone reporting interest on the bond. 2010 1040 tax forms You later have the bond reissued as two $500 bonds, one in your name and one in your spouse's name. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report half the interest earned to the date of reissue. 2010 1040 tax forms Transfer to a trust. 2010 1040 tax forms If you own series E, series EE, or series I bonds and transfer them to a trust, giving up all rights of ownership, you must include in your income for that year the interest earned to the date of transfer if you have not already reported it. 2010 1040 tax forms However, if you are considered the owner of the trust and if the increase in value both before and after the transfer continues to be taxable to you, you can continue to defer reporting the interest earned each year. 2010 1040 tax forms You must include the total interest in your income in the year you cash or dispose of the bonds or the year the bonds finally mature, whichever is earlier. 2010 1040 tax forms The same rules apply to previously unreported interest on series EE or series E bonds if the transfer to a trust consisted of series HH or series H bonds you acquired in a trade for the series EE or series E bonds. 2010 1040 tax forms See Savings bonds traded , later. 2010 1040 tax forms Decedents. 2010 1040 tax forms The manner of reporting interest income on series E, series EE, or series I bonds, after the death of the owner (decedent), depends on the accounting and income-reporting methods previously used by the decedent. 2010 1040 tax forms This is explained in chapter 1 of Publication 550. 2010 1040 tax forms Savings bonds traded. 2010 1040 tax forms If you postponed reporting the interest on your series EE or series E bonds, you did not recognize taxable income when you traded the bonds for series HH or series H bonds, unless you received cash in the

tax forms ) Any cash you received is income up to the amount of the interest earned on the bonds traded. 2010 1040 tax forms When your series HH or series H bonds mature, or if you dispose of them before maturity, you report as interest the difference between their redemption value and your cost. 2010 1040 tax forms Your cost is the sum of the amount you paid for the traded series EE or series E bonds plus any amount you had to pay at the time of the trade. 2010 1040 tax forms Example. 2010 1040 tax forms You traded series EE bonds (on which you postponed reporting the interest) for $2,500 in series HH bonds and $223 in cash. 2010 1040 tax forms You reported the $223 as taxable income on your tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms At the time of the trade, the series EE bonds had accrued interest of $523 and a redemption value of $2,723. 2010 1040 tax forms You hold the series HH bonds until maturity, when you receive $2,500. 2010 1040 tax forms You must report $300 as interest income in the year of maturity. 2010 1040 tax forms This is the difference between their redemption value, $2,500, and your cost, $2,200 (the amount you paid for the series EE bonds). 2010 1040 tax forms (It is also the difference between the accrued interest of $523 on the series EE bonds and the $223 cash received on the trade. 2010 1040 tax forms ) Choice to report interest in year of trade. 2010 1040 tax forms You could have chosen to treat all of the previously unreported accrued interest on the series EE or series E bonds traded for series HH bonds as income in the year of the trade. 2010 1040 tax forms If you made this choice, it is treated as a change from method 1. 2010 1040 tax forms See Change from method 1 under Series EE and series I bonds, earlier. 2010 1040 tax forms Form 1099-INT

reported by the decedent before death, or on the decedent's final return, or by the estate on the estate's income tax return. 2010 1040 tax forms Ownership of the bond was transferred. 2010 1040 tax forms The interest shown on your Form 1099-INT will not be reduced by interest that accrued before the transfer. 2010 1040 tax forms You were named as a co-owner, and the other co-owner contributed funds to buy the bond. 2010 1040 tax forms The interest shown on your Form 1099-INT will not be reduced by the amount you received as nominee for the other co-owner. 2010 1040 tax forms (See Co-owners , earlier in this chapter, for more information about the reporting requirements. 2010 1040 tax forms ) You received the bond in a taxable distribution from a retirement or profit-sharing plan. 2010

1040 tax forms You must be at least 24 years old before the bond's issue date. 2010 1040 tax forms For example, a bond bought by a parent and issued in the name of his or her child under age 24 does not qualify for the exclusion by the parent or child. 2010 1040 tax forms The issue date of a bond may be earlier than the date the bond is purchased because the issue date assigned to a bond is the first day of the month in which it is purchased. 2010 1040 tax forms Beneficiary. 2010 1040 tax forms You can designate any individual (including a child) as a beneficiary of the bond. 2010 1040 tax

more than your adjusted qualified higher educational expenses for the year, you may be able to exclude all of the interest. 2010 1040 tax forms If the proceeds are more than the expenses, you may be able to exclude only part of the interest. 2010 1040 tax forms To determine the excludable amount, multiply the interest part of the proceeds by a fraction. 2010 1040 tax forms The numerator of the fraction is the qualified higher educational expenses you paid during the year. 2010 1040 tax forms The denominator of the fraction is the total proceeds you received during the year. 2010 1040 tax

married taxpayers filing jointly or for a qualifying widow(er) with dependent child. 2010 1040 tax forms You do not qualify for the interest exclusion if your modified AGI is equal to or more than the upper limit for your filing status. 2010 1040 tax forms Modified AGI, for purposes of this exclusion, is adjusted gross income (Form 1040, line 37, or Form 1040A, line 21) figured before the interest

1040 tax forms A debt instrument generally has OID when the instrument is issued for a price that is less than its stated redemption price at maturity. 2010 1040 tax forms OID is the difference between the stated redemption price at maturity and the issue price. 2010 1040 tax forms All debt instruments that pay no interest before maturity are presumed to be issued at a discount. 2010 1040 tax forms Zero coupon bonds are one example of these instruments. 2010 1040 tax forms The OID accrual rules generally do not apply to short-term obligations (those with a fixed maturity date of 1 year

discount as zero if it is less than one-fourth of 1% (. 2010 1040 tax forms 0025) of the stated redemption price at maturity multiplied by the number of full years from the date of original issue to maturity. 2010 1040 tax forms This small discount is known as “de minimis” OID. 2010 1040 tax forms Example 1. 2010 1040 tax forms You bought a 10-year bond with a stated redemption price at maturity of $1,000, issued at $980 with OID of $20. 2010 1040 tax forms One-fourth of 1% of $1,000 (stated redemption price) times 10 (the number of full years from the date of original issue to maturity) equals $25. 2010 1040 tax forms Because the $20 discount is less than $25, the OID is treated as zero. 2010 1040 tax forms (If you hold the bond at maturity, you will recognize $20 ($1,000 − $980) of capital gain. 2010 1040 tax forms ) Example 2. 2010 1040 tax forms The facts are the same as in Example 1, except that the bond was issued at $950. 2010 1040 tax forms The OID is $50. 2010 1040 tax forms Because the $50 discount is more than the $25 figured in Example 1, you must include the OID in income as it accrues over the term of the bond. 2010 1040 tax forms Debt instrument bought after original issue. 2010 1040 tax forms If you buy a debt instrument with de minimis OID at a premium, the discount is not includible in income. 2010 1040 tax forms If you buy a debt instrument with de minimis OID at a discount, the discount is reported under the market discount rules. 2010 1040 tax forms See Market Discount Bonds in chapter 1 of Publication 550. 2010 1040 tax forms Exceptions to reporting OID. 2010 1040 tax forms The OID rules discussed in this chapter do not apply to the following debt instruments. 2010 1040 tax forms Tax-exempt obligations. 2010 1040 tax forms (However, see
