Form 1099-INT

Who Is This Form For?

Form 1099-INT for each person:

  • To whom you paid amounts reportable in boxes 1, 3, and 8 of at least $10,
  • For whom you withheld and paid any foreign tax on interest, or
  • From whom you withheld (and did not refund) any federal income tax under the backup withholding rules regardless of the amount of the payment.

How To Access It

  • Your 1099-INT information was included at the end of your December month-end statement.
  • Access it online through online banking or in mobile banking on a mobile browser:
    • Select the My Documents tab to access your 1099-INT and all monthly statements
    • Please Note: Your 1099-INT is also available on the mobile app by tapping More > eStatements > Tax Statements

Mortgage Form 1098

Form 1098 is used to report mortgage interest of $600 or more paid by you per loan during the year. If you paid less than $600 in interest you won’t receive a 1098, but instead you can find that information on your year-end statement. You will receive a statement from the institution that holds your mortgage.

Honor or Neighborhood Mortgage Solutions

  • You will receive a Form 1098 in the mail by the end of January (mailed separately if interest expense exceeds $600).

Midwest Loan Services

  • You will receive a Form 1098 in the mail by the end of January. 
  • Access it electronically if you’re enrolled in Midwest’s online account.
