About Stated Interest Processing
Stated interest processing allows you to only recognize premium amortization when either:
- Coupon payments are received, either on a contractual or actual settlement date basis.
- Disposal transactions that have accrued interest.
You can create an amortization & accretion rule that uses stated interest processing to allow the entity/accounting basis to recognize interest and premium amortization when cash is received.
Retail US taxpayers who recognize bond premium amortization should record such amortization on a cash basis rather than an accrual basis. As interest payments are recorded and paid, bond premium allocable to the payment should be is recorded at the same time. As bond sales with accrued interest results in recognition of interest income to the seller, the accrued interest of the sell should be is treated as stated interest and the period to date amortization proportionate to the quantity sold on a lot should be is recorded at that time.
