When a bond reaches maturity, how do you redeem it?
Your link has finally matured after three decades of waiting. If you wish to cash in your bonds, you must follow specific requirements depending on the type of bond you have (paper or electronic).
- You can cash electronic savings bonds on the TreasuryDirect website, and you’ll get your money in two days.
- Most major financial institutions, such as your local bank, accept paper savings bonds.
If you can’t find your fully matured paper savings bond, you can have it electronically replaced by going to the TreasuryDirect website and filling out the necessary papers.
You’ll need the serial number of the bond, which serves as a unique identity. If this isn’t accessible, you’ll need other information, such as the exact month and year the bond was purchased, the owner’s Social Security number, and the names and addresses of the bond’s owners. Even if you’ve misplaced the bond, it’s possible to find it with a few efforts.
You can keep your bond after it matures, but you will not get any extra interest. On the one hand, because you can’t spend a savings bond without redeeming it, the value of your bonds is considered “secure.” On the other side, if your bond isn’t redeemed, you’ll miss out on additional sources of interest. With current inflation rates, it doesn’t make much sense to hold a bond that pays nothing and is losing money to inflation every day.
Finally, regardless of whether you redeem your bonds or not, you will owe taxes on them when they mature. In the year of maturity, make sure to include all earned and previously unreported interest on your tax return. If you don’t, you may be subject to a tax penalty for underpayment.
