Form 1099-INT reports interest income paid to your securities and commodities account for the year, including securities held outside the US (i.e., bonds issued by foreign entities).  Interest income may be subject to backup withholding. Form 1099-INT reports any backup withholding as federal income tax withheld.   Original issue discount (OID), although a form of interest, is reportable on Form 1099-OID.
