You CAN NOT avoid reporting the interest that is received during the year from your savings account and adding the amount to all of your other gross worldwide income and paying federal income tax on the amount at your marginal tax rate after your 1040 federal income tax return is completed correctly.
And to the essense of yoru question, I believe your confused about what is taxable income. EARNED income may be taxable (generally is) and UNEARNED income (in the vernacular) is ALSO taxable the same way...it is all taxable income. And certainly interest is taxable income (unless it is from a specifically none taxable type of investment, like a State/Municipal bond) , regardless of the source of the underlying deposit.
