Schedule B, titled Interest and Ordinary Dividends, is filed with Form 1040 or Form 1040A for seven reasons.

One, it's used to report over $1,500 of taxable interest or ordinary dividends.

Two, it's used to exclude interest from U.S. savings bond series EE or I issued after 1989.

Three, it's used to report foreign accounts or trusts.

Four, it's used to report interest from a seller-financed mortgage on a property used by the buyer as a personal residence.

Five, it's used to report original issue discount [OID] in an amount less than that shown on Form 1099-OID.

Six, it's used to report accrued interest from a bond.

Seven, it's used to reduce a bond's interest income by the amount of amortizable bond premium.
