What are some reasons why people should consider I Bonds?
I Bonds, or Individual savings bonds, also called Series I savings bonds, are savings bonds that are issued through the United States Department of Treasury. They are guaranteed to never lose value. I bonds are started with a 1 year minimum hold time, and the bond can not be released. They also have a penalty of three months of interest rate if they are redeemed before 5 years. After 5 years the penalty for redemption will end. In times of inflation the I bond will accrue interest. This interest can be earned for up to 30 years. When the bond is redeemed, let's say in 30 years, one will get the original amount invested and all of the interest accrued over the 30 years.
Will a Series EE savings Bond pay interest beyond its maturity date?
Upon maturity the Series EE savings bond stops paying interest which brings up an interesting option for holders of matured savings bonds. Since the banks are paying close to zero on savings there is really no financial penalty for holding the Series EE bonds past the maturity date. In addition, federal tax on the interest earned on the savings bonds are not due until the bonds are actually cashed in which gives the holder the flexibility of shifting income to a particular year. For someone nearing retirement and holding Series EE bonds which have matured it would probably make sense to hold off on cashing in the bonds until retirement when the bond holder would probably have lower income and thus a lower tax rate.
