I cashed in several bonds in January of THIS year (2012). My bank sent a 1099-INT form that is dated 2011. Should I include this income on this year's filling? Technically, I don't think I should because I cashed at the beginning of this year and thus it isn't income for 2011. But I want to double check. Any ideas? Thanks!
