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.
