I loaned my grandchildren money because the interest is better than the banks offer and my grandchildren get a better rate from me than what they can get for a home equity loan. How should this be reported for tax purposes?


ANSWER


Expert Todd Alexander's Answer:

The interest income you receive is reported on line 8a on the Form 1040 and summarized on Schedule B if you have over $1,500 in interest and dividend.
