They are germans and also live in germany. I read that I am technically required to issue them a 1099-INT for the money, but they don't have a SSN. What should I be doing with my

How was it reported to you? via 1099-INT or 1099-DIV? Either way, taxability is the same to the recipient. As a "dividend" it is non Qualified, and is not eligible for the special tax rates.
