What is Constructive Receipt?
On M&T certificates of deposit, constructive receipt is the amount of interest earned (not interest paid) from January 1 through December 31.

M&T allows certificate of deposit customers to withdraw all interest (both earned and paid) without penalty.
Therefore, interest earned on an account is reported on the 1099.  This means the 1099 will report the combined total dollar amount of interest paid AND interest earned on the account for that calendar year.

How to calculate 1099 reported interest
Add paid interest from the current tax year
Add accrued interest from the current tax year (reported to IRS)
Subtract accrued interest from previous tax year (reported last year)
Total = interest reported on 1099 for tax year


The following example will assist with explaining M&T's format for interest earned reported to the IRS.
