Finally, some instruments will throw off OID income. T-Bills won't do this since the max term is 52 weeks. However, other treasuries do, like Notes. Notes have both coupon and discount. The government wants the imputed interest from the discount each year in a 3 year note, so you get a 1099-OID. When the Note matures, you are done and at par so there is no capital gain. The "gain" through the years was caught as imputed interest in the 1099-OID.
I am wondering, when the example 3 year note matures and is repaid to a person's brokerage account, will it not show interest for the amount of OID that was previously stated in the prior years ?
I'd hate to pay taxes twice
