Form 1099-OID 2024 Tax Year Checklist
Purpose and Scope
Form 1099-OID 2024 reports original issue discount, stated interest, early withdrawal penalties, federal withholding, market discount, acquisition premium, bond premium, tax-exempt OID, and Treasury OID earned during the 2024 tax year. Under TCJA rules extended through 2025, covered security reporting for acquisition premium reflects either net or gross OID and premium amounts, depending on the security's covered status as of January 1, 2024.
Taxpayer Identification Requirements
Verify that both payer TIN and recipient TIN match IRS records before filing to reduce penalties and backup withholding notices. Confirm that you reported the recipient's complete TIN to the IRS despite truncation shown on Copy B, as 2024 truncation rules require the full TIN on file with the IRS.
Covered Security Status Determination
Determine whether the security qualifies as a covered security as of 2024 based on the acquisition date and reporting designation under applicable regulations. For debt instruments acquired before January 1, 2014, report gross amounts for OID and premium without separate amortization entries.
For debt instruments acquired on or after January 1, 2014, you must declare whether you are using the net or gross reporting method for acquisition premium per Regulations section 1.6045-1. This determination affects how you report amounts in Boxes 1 and 6 and must remain consistent throughout the security's holding period.
Original Issue Discount Calculations
Calculate original issue discount in Box 1 for taxable obligations using the constant yield method as required by federal tax regulations. For Treasury inflation-protected securities included in 2024 reporting, include deflation adjustments as negative amounts per Publication 550.

Qualified Stated Interest Reporting
The report qualified stated interest in Box 2, separate from OID amounts, to maintain proper tax treatment distinctions. If the recipient held the obligation for the entire 2024 calendar year, the full amount is reportable on the form. Still, if disposed of or acquired mid-year, the recipient must consult Publication 550 for proper allocation instructions.
Early Withdrawal Penalty Documentation
Complete Box 3 with the early withdrawal penalty amount if the recipient forfeited principal or interest upon premature withdrawal from certificates of deposit or deposit arrangements during 2024. The recipient may deduct this amount above-the-line on Form 1040 as an adjustment to income.
Backup Withholding Procedures
Enter the backup withholding amount in Box 4 if you did not receive a correct TIN from the recipient or if the recipient failed to certify Form W-9 properly. The recipient must include this amount as federal tax withheld on their return, and backup withholding applies at the current statutory rate to reportable payments when TIN certification requirements are not met.
Market Discount Reporting for Covered Securities
Enter market discount in Box 5 for covered securities only when the recipient made a written election under section 1278(b) to accrue market discount and notified you in writing per Regulations section 1.6045-1(n)(5). For covered securities acquired on or after January 1, 2014, use the constant yield basis to calculate accrued market discount unless the recipient notified you in writing under section 1276(b) to use the straight-line method instead.
Acquisition Premium Amortization Rules
Complete acquisition premium amortization in Box 6 for covered securities acquired at a premium by choosing one of two permitted reporting methods: report gross OID in Box 1 and gross amortization in Box 6, or report net OID reflecting the offset with no separate Box 6 entry. For tax-exempt covered securities acquired on or after January 1, 2017, the amortization amount reduces tax-exempt OID per the 2024 instructions.

CUSIP and Obligation Identification
Include the CUSIP identification number or a complete description of the obligation in Box 7 for proper security identification. If CUSIP is unavailable, provide the issuer name, coupon rate, and maturity year to enable accurate tracking.
Treasury Obligation Reporting
Report Treasury OID in Box 8 separately from other taxable OID amounts to preserve the state and local tax exemption. The recipient must use Publication 1212 to determine proper reporting adjustments on Form 1040 Schedule B and calculate the correct tax liability at both the federal and state levels.
Bond Premium Amortization for Taxable Securities
Report bond premium amortization in Box 10 for taxable covered securities acquired at a premium during the tax year, unless the recipient notified you in writing under section 171 that they elect not to amortize bond premium. If the amortization amount exceeds the stated interest paid during the year, the recipient must review Regulations section 1.171-2(a)(4) for proper treatment.
Filing and Furnishing Deadlines
File Copy A with the IRS:
- Paper filing deadline: February 28, 2025
- Electronic filing deadline: March 31, 2025
Furnish Copy B to recipients:

Assemble all paper forms with Form 1096 showing the payer as filer and submit to the appropriate IRS service center.
Regulatory Updates for 2024
Covered security acquisition premium reporting for 2024 requires payers to declare at the time of reporting whether net OID or gross OID and premium amounts appear in Boxes 1 and 6. Tax-exempt covered securities acquired on or after January 1, 2017, with OID require Box 6 amortization amounts that reduce tax-exempt OID reported in Box 11.
Election and Notification Requirements
TCJA sustained rules through 2024 maintain section 171 bond premium amortization election availability for recipients who may elect not to amortize by notifying payers in writing per Regulations section 1.6045-1(n)(5). Constant yield market discount accrual applies to covered securities acquired on or after January 1, 2014, unless recipients provide written notice declining the election per applicable regulations.
Nominee Recipient Obligations
If you receive Form 1099-OID as a record holder for another person's account, you must file separate Forms 1099-OID for each owner, showing yourself as the payer name and each owner as the recipient. Assembly with Form 1096 is required for IRS filing, and you must furnish copies to each beneficial owner by the January 31 deadline.
FATCA Compliance Reporting
If the FATCA filing requirement box is checked on the form, you are satisfying your chapter 4 account reporting requirement as the payer. The recipient may also have a separate filing requirement under Chapter 4 regulations and should consult Instructions for Form 8938 for guidance on individual reporting obligations.
