Interest income is considered taxable when earned. For example, if your savings account accrues interest, it is taxable at the time of accrual even if you are not utilizing the funds within the account. However, if you are accruing interest on a treasury bond that you have not yet cashed, the interest is not taxable until the bond is cashed and you receive the funds.
