How is Interest Taxed?

How is my savings account interest taxed?


Your interest income is added to your other taxable earnings, and should be reported by you, to the IRS. The tax rate is based on your income and other factors on your tax return.

Your bank sends you a 1099-INT, annually. This form is required when you earn $10 or more in interest.
