If you made more than $10 in interest on a checking/savings/money market account or on a certificate of deposit (CD) the financial institution where the account is held is required to send you a 1099-INT showing the amount of interest the institution paid to you.
If you received this form the interest you made would be listed in Box 1, and will need to be reported on your taxes to be in compliance with current IRS laws.
If you did not receive this form, but believe this is an error, you need to contact the institution directly to get the amount and/or document. Just because you did not receive the form does not mean you do not have to enter it on your taxes. According to the IRS it is ultimately your responsibility to enter any and all information accurately.
If you made less than $10 in interest it is unnecessary to report the interest income; also the institution would most likely not have sent you a 1099-INT because they are not obligated to do so when the amount is less than $10.
One last piece of information; even if you feel you do not have much money invested it takes very little to go over the $10 amount. As an example: $500 held in account which yields 2% per year would put you over the reportable amount of $10.
