Interest - Itemized Deduction

Should I not report the interest income that was reported on Form 1099-INT, that was incorrectly sent to me ?

Answer:

In order to avoid any future problems and to avoid any mismatching reports with the IRS, you should include this amount on IRS Schedule B both as a positive and negative amount. Enter the Form 1099-INT amount on Schedule B, line 1 as income. Enter the same amount as a negative adjustment on Schedule B, line 1 and enter "Nominee Distribution" as the negative adjustment description. Speak to your local CPA if you have any questions about the reporting of this incorrect interest.
