The NAEOB columns affect ONLY the federal return. If the interest qualifies for any of the adjustments described below, type the appropriate letter (N, A, E, O, or B) in the NAEOB column and the amount that should be subtracted from the taxable interest in the NAEOB Amount column. For more information, press Shift+F1 for IRS instructions.
Nominee Distributions
Suppose the taxpayer received interest as a nominee (that is, in the taxpayer's name, but the interest belongs to someone else). In that case, you should enter all interest income on the Interest statement. You cannot link to the statement from this line; you can link from lines 1b-1g.
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 the taxpayer received a Form 1099 for interest as a purchaser of a bond with accrued interest, you should enter all interest income on the Interest statement. You cannot link to the statement from this line; you can link from lines 1b-1g.
Tax-exempt interest
If the taxpayer received a Form 1099-INT for tax-exempt interest on the federal return, you should enter all interest income on the Interest Statement. You cannot link to the statement from this line; you can link from lines 1b-1g.
OID adjustments
If the taxpayer is reporting OID (Original issue discount) in an amount less than the amount shown on Form 1099-OID, you must enter all interest income on the Interest Statement.
ABP adjustments
If the taxpayer is reducing any interest income on a bond by the amount of amortizable bond premium (ABP), you must enter all interest income on the Interest Statement.
