The millions of Americans who purchase bonds regularly through the Payroll Savings or Bond-A-Month plans have asked thousands of questions about savings bonds and their bond holdings Many are of interest to anyone who pur chases, or who is thinking of purchasing savings bonds A few of these quesions. with the answers, follow Q -- I have noticed some inconsistencies in the redemption tables for Series F. bonds For instance, an E bond issued in June 1951 is worth more than one issued in May of that year How did this come about0 A - Series F bonds issued prior to September 1976 in crease in value of the end of each six-month holding period It is logical, then, that older bonds will always be worth more than newer There are however, exceptions caused b> the following circumstances In 1959. for the first t ime outstanding F bonds were granted an interest-rate in crease along with new issues The regulations provided 'hat the increase would become effective with the first interest period beginning on or after June 1. 1959 As a result , a June 1951 issue began to earn in terest at the higher rate im mediately. while the May 1951 bond did not begin to earn the higher rate until ' November 1959 In the five-month interim the June bond passed the May bond in value, and continues to be worth at the end of corresponding interest pe-iods Interest rate increases in December 1965. June 1968. June 1969. June 1970. and December 1973 followed the same policy, compounding the disparities in some cases Q Who pays the tax on Savings bonds whose owner ship is transferred from parent to child0 Also, who is l iable for the tax on bonds bought b> a parent for a child, but registered in co-ownership form 0 A In the first case, such a transfer results in a taxable event, meaning that the parent is l iable for any tax due on the interest earned up until the time of transfer The child is l iable for the tax on the interest earned thereafter In the latter case, the co-owner w ho actually paid for the bonds is l iable for any t ax due. no matter which co-owner cashed the bonds Q -- Is i t to my advantag cash in E bonds issued in 1940 s and buy new ones'* A - All outstanding Ser.e and H bonds continue to die- interest, regardless of a*- Fach series has been grante one or more ten-year je> tensions beyond origin? maturi ty, depending on who they were issued The mtefes rate in extension is now »si> percen? per year, com pounce ' semi -annua l ly Since bondf i extension draw the maximiii allowable rate, there are ' n< advantages, and distific ' disadvantages, to cashing ti ler in for the sole purpose of buymi new bonds I f t he bonds e r - . c a shed , a i l i n t e r e s t earned i » subject to federal tax. and the new honds will ini t ial ly drav interest , at a lower rate than tht o ld bonds As a r e su l t , c a sh in fe in old bonds for new is a r. ,>ney l o s ing p ropos i t i on <1 I h ave been Luv in t s av ings bonds s ince they f i r s were issued in 1941 How can de te rmine the amoun t o f i n • e r e s t t hey have ea r r . ed ' L j Bond t e l l e r s a t i ^nk - sav ings and i "a can a s s i s t yo i >u c an ob ta in ih o f Hedempt io owing t he cu r r en ' >e r i e s K bono vo and many a s soc i a t i on However Tab le s Va lue r ' s \ a lue o f an ow- Her ea rned i s t bond minus Fo r cop ie s t ab l e s wr . i mx month ; check 'T n t h e Documen t P r in t ing DC Spec i f ; c Sa \ mgs B pe r iod ic : b e d i r ec t be low fo r For uer bonds , wr o f f i ce o f Sa \ mt i s Depa r t m t \ \ a shmgt i 634-5377 mner . i n i e r e s to t a l va lue o f t h i e pu rchase p r io f the redemptio " . i ch a r e i s sued eve i h s . s end _ r i cen t s > money o rde r on ly upe r in t ende r ' o t s IS ( iovprmtV! o f f i ce Wa ed ues t ions abou i i d s no t answer u s r e l ea ses s a t t he co r mp t r ep l i e s do; I - •d l o LOULL e ra l i n fo rma t ion < iu or ca l l D i r ec to Pub l i c A f f a i r s I Bonds D : \ i s i " n t o f t he T reasu r ir: DC J i For l ega l and t ec jm aspec t s , wr i t e o r ca l l B Consu l t an t -Branch .
