I didn't know that there are so many catches. I don't have many investments in bonds (will be explained in the "Reason for (Not) Investing in Bonds"), and therefore I never looked into all these details. Thanks.

I didn’t know that there are so many catches. I don’t have many investments in bonds (will be explained in the “Reason for (Not) Investing in Bonds”), and therefore I never looked into all these details.

Thanks.

"Third, the exclusion is phased out as the adjusted gross income of the taxpayer exceeds certain levels depending on the owner's filing status. For married taxpayers filing jointly and surviving spouses, the exclusion of the interest begins phasing out at $81,100 and is completely phased out at $111,100 for 2000. For all other taxpayers, the exclusion of the interest begins phasing out at $54,100 and is completely phased out at $69,100 for 2000. The final requirement is that the amount of the interest on the redeemed Bonds must be lower than qualified higher educational expenses of the child, the taxpayer, or a spouse. Educational costs are broadly defined as including tuition and fees (not room and board or expenses for courses involving sports, games, or hobbies that are not part of a degree program). Thus, it is possible that the exclusion will not be available if the child receives a scholarship or attends a military service academy. " Thanks for the EE Savings bond tip -
