st: a question on creating interaction in 2SLS using xtivreg

Hi, I use 2SLS on a panel data. I want to test some hypotheses on interactions between an independent variable and a control variable in the second stage. Using xtivreg, the command would look like :
xtivreg dependentvariable (instrument= predictors of the first stage) , i.firm i.year
Where should I put the interaction term, inside the parenthesis or outside the parenthesis? If outside, I am concerned that the error terms would be brought back to the second stage. If inside, should it be :
xtivreg dependentvariable (instrument instrumentXcontrol= predictors of the first stage), i.firm i.year
Your advice will be very appreciated. Thank you.
Kun
