624.0. "Taxes on EE bonds" by DTRACY::ROYAL () Mon Nov 29 1993 12:36

    
    If I cash in EE savings bonds will I pay taxes as interest/dividends?
    or a capital gain?   My hunch is that it's considered accumulated
    interest.

624.1EE bond gains are treated as interestI18N::GLANTZMon Nov 29 1993 17:221
    Your gain is taxed as interest by the Feds; non-taxable by your State.

But I believe you might be able to further postpone the interest gains by
rolling the EE bonds into HH bonds.  Then, the regular interest paid by HH 
bonds is taxable as it happens...

    If someone wants to purchase US SAVING BONDS for my childrens education so
    when I cash out of them, I won't have to pay taxes on them if I use
    the proceeds on my childrens education.  How does one do this so uncle
    sam doesn't look for his share of the redemption.
    
    if so: Are these FED and STATE tax free ?

    Re .last:
    
    The bonds must be bought in the parent's name, and not in the child's
    name in order to qualify for this exemption.  I believe there is
    also an income limit, but I don't have any idea what that is.
