You will receive a 1099-INT tax form if you’re the primary account holder (Tax Reported Owner (TRO)) and earned $10 or more in combined interest across all your deposit accounts during the tax year. Currently, only primary account holders can access tax forms, while joint account holders do not have access and will not receive tax forms.

Members who received a payout from opening a checking account will also receive a 1099-INT showing the payout as “interest.”

For members earning less than $10 in deposit interest a 1099-INT tax form is not created.

1099-INT forms will be available in Digital Banking or sent by mail no later than Jan. 31st.

According to IRS reporting rules, interest earned on a CD is reported in the year it is paid, even if it hasn’t matured. Interest is credited to your CD monthly, regardless of how you’ve chosen to receive disbursements. These monthly interest payments will appear on a 1099‑INT for the tax year they were credited.

Please note that IRA CDs do not receive a 1099-INT tax form.

• 1099-MISC: You’ll receive a 1099-MISC tax form if you’re the primary account holder and received at least $600 in miscellaneous income across all your deposit accounts, including closed accounts, during the tax year. This income can include bonuses, cash, or cash equivalents (such as gift cards).

If the total interest paid across all your accounts is $10 or more during the tax year, you’ll receive a 1099‑INT that combines the interest from all your deposit accounts. Additionally, a separate form will be issued for interest paid on other account types, such as a Deposit Escrow account.

Generally, interest paid on auto, boat, and RV loans is not tax‑deductible, so we do not provide tax forms for these types of loans.

However, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduced new provisions that may allow deductions for certain qualifying auto loans. If Columbia Credit Union determines that you may qualify based on your existing loan with us, you may receive an informational letter in the mail, or if you’ve elected to receive e-Statements, you can view it in the same location as your other tax-related documents inside consumer digital banking.
