Categorized as: Savings Bond college education deduction
I bought Series EE bonds for my children’s college education back in about 1990. At what age of the child may I cash them and pay school expenses with the interest growth on the bonds being tax free?
Tom’s response
There is no age limitation for this deduction, but the person you are claiming the deduction for must be a dependent on your tax return.
There’s a lot of other fine print that comes with this deduction - click here for the details on the Savings Bond education deduction.
FDIC Insured Certificates of Deposit can pay 1 or 2% more than savings bonds when held for a similar length of time. See top CD Rates Below:
