Rev. date: 1/1/2011If you have not reported the increase in the redemption value
of the bonds as interest each year, you must report all of the interest in the
year they are cashed or otherwise disposed of:
-
If your total taxable interest for the year is more than $1500,
you report (and separately identify) the interest on Schedule B of
Form 1040 (PDF) or Schedule 1 of
Form 1040A (PDF).
-
If your total interest is not more than $1500 for the year,
report the savings bond interest with your other interest on the "Interest" line
of your tax return.
-
Exception: Some or all of the interest may be excludable from
your gross income if you pay qualified higher education expenses for yourself,
your spouse, or your dependent during the year.
