1099 database

Banks report bonuses on 1099-INT (as interest) or 1099-MISC (as other income); either way it's taxable federally and in California. Small amounts may not get a form (under $10 on a 1099-INT, or under $2,000 on a 1099-MISC for payments made in 2026 and later, up from $600, per the 2025 law change), but the income is still reportable. We only list a form type when we have a cited source; help us by reporting what you received.
