Where do I indicate what kind of interest I earned?
by: Better Tax
You might be used to seeing little dropdown boxes everywhere you enter interest income in your tax software. Fun fact: designating your interest as bank, bond, or mortgage is actually optional.
In Better Tax, we allow you to designate your interest, but we don't require it. We'll prompt you about this when you review your return.
If you want to designate interest earlier, search for "Bank interest", "Bond interest", or "Mortgage interest" in the search bar. These results will only appear when you have interest income on your return.
