Form Overview

IRS Form 1099-OID - 1099-OID

Form 1099‑OID reports original issue discount (OID) on bonds, notes, and other debt instruments. Payers use it to inform the IRS and the holder of taxable OID each year.

It captures the bond’s face value, issue price, OID amount, accrued interest, and the recipient’s taxpayer identification number.

Risk Radar

Scan points
  • 1A single typo in the recipient’s SSN can trigger a mismatch notice from the IRS.
  • 2Incorrect taxpayer identification number
  • 3Missing or mis‑calculated OID amount
  • 4Sending the paper form to the wrong IRS service center
  • 5Failing to include Form 1096 with paper filings

Plain English

If you bought a bond for less than its face value, the IRS treats the discount as income. The institution that issued the bond sends Form 1099‑OID to you and the IRS so the discount is reported on your tax return.
