Best Answer

A payable (such as interest payable) can be either a long term or current liability, to find out which consider the definitions of each.

Current liability is any liability that will be fully paid within one year (or less) or one accounting period.

Long term liability is any liability that will take more than one year or accounting period to be fully paid.

For the most part, interest payable is current, as it usually is required to be paid quickly, however, that is not always the case.
