The interest earned on savings bonds is exempt from all state and local income tax and is deferred for federal income tax until sale or maturity.


Do you have to pay income on money you inherited from your great aunt?

You don't have to pay income tax on money. You may have to pay income tax if you receive property that has increased in value since your aunt died. You would pay tax on the profit when you sell it. You may have to pay income tax when you take withdrawals from a tax-deferred account you inherited from your aunt (such as a traditional IRA or 401k). You may have to pay income tax on the interest from US Savings Bonds you inherited. Some states impose an inheritance tax (which is different from an income tax). You may have to pay an inheritance tax. If the estate failed to pay any tax that might be due before distributing property to you, the IRS may come looking to you to recover some of the property.

Will you owe any state or federal income tax on the remaining inheritance after paying the NJ inheritance tax?

If you inherit something like a tax-sheltered account, you may owe income taxes when you make withdrawals from the account. Examples are a traditional IRA or a 401k. If you inherit property that has gone up in value since the date of death, you may have to pay tax on the increase in value when you sell it. If you inherit US Savings Bonds on which the previous owner has not been paying taxes annually, you may owe income tax on the interest when you cash them in. If you inherit corporate bonds, you may have to pay income tax on any interest payments after the date of death. But, in general, you do not owe income taxes on an inheritance.

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.


What is difference between tax free and taxable income?

You don't pay tax on the tax-free pay and you do pay tax on taxable income


If you cashed in Series E bonds do you pay tax on the total matured value or just the interest?

The interest earned on your savings bonds is subject to federal income tax, which can be deferred until redemption, final maturity, or other taxable disposition, whichever occurs first. Savings bonds are subject to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether federal or state. (Basically, that will be the difference between your purcahse price and the redemption amount. You will receive a 1099-INT for this).
