You should receive a Form 1099-INT from banks and financial institutions for interest earned over $10. Even if you did not receive a Form 1099-INT, or if you received interest under $10 for the tax year, you are still required to report any interest earned and credited to your account during the year. 

The interest earned is entered in the Investment Income section of the program.
