Accrued interest paid on a bond bought between interest payment dates is shown on Form 1099-INT (Interest Income). Include the amount of interest in Part I (Interest) line 1 (List name of payer) of Schedule B (Interest and Ordinary Dividends). Under your last entry, subtotal all the interest listed, write 'Accrued Interest' with the amount paid to the seller. That amount isn't taxable to you. Subtract it from the subtotal and enter the result on line 2 and also on line 8a of Form 1040.

For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 550 (Investment Income and Expenses).
