I don't see any reporting requirements.

If there were a finance charge based on a percentage
of the amount transferred, that would be considered
"interest" -- and if you invested the funds (i.e.,
your checking account is interest-bearing), then it
would qualify as "investment interest", and be
deductible(Note 1) if you itemized deductions....

But you asked about requirements, not about options.

Note 1: To the extent of normally taxed investment
gains (not divendends or long-term capital gains, except
to the extent that you elect normal taxation.)

Good answer! NOW, the question is, WHERE (what form )
is it reported?

You don't. The proceeds from the loan aren't income, and
there's no interest to deduct. The only thing you would have
to report is any interest the money earned while sitting in
the checking account. Otherwise it's a non-event as far as
your income tax return is concerned.

Any part of the interest on the loan that was used to
finance a trade or business activity would be a business
expense. If none was used for generating a profit (ie
consolidated other personal loans, etc.., none of the
interest is deductible.

A loan is not income, since you are required to pay it back.
There is no reporting requirement.

Default How to report credit card loan?

I recently took advantage of a 0% credit card loan of
approximately $30K. The money was transferred into a bank
checking account and was paid back in full within 3 months.
How should this be reported?

Thanks in advance,
Y.M. Lim
