With the interest rate on savings accounts, it's just not worth it to me to go through the hassle of transferring money into and out of it. Honestly, I'm waiting to file my taxes because I switched banks early in the year and now I have to wait for that stupid 1099 to come in the mail to show me the $1 in interest I earned last January.
I pay anything and everything I can with credit cards and then autopay all of those bills out of checking.
You might want to check if the bank will even issue a 1099-int. Some of mine don’t issue one for amounts under $10.
