[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]you can get another 5k (total of 15k) using fed tax return. [/quote]

I wish they would just allow you to do that electronically via treasury direct rather than just paper bonds![/quote]

Their website seems even more archaic than handling paper bonds. Any common complaints dealing with treasury direct?[/quote]

Some people like to complain about it but I have never had a problem.  You do have to remember that you can't use the "back" button on your browser or you will be kicked out, and it prompts you for a one-time passcode (a second password that is emailed to you) if you go more than a month or two between log ins.  Generally it works well and is pretty straightforward.  I would link a bank account you intend to keep for a while because I think to add or change a bank account may require a medallion signature guarantee on a form and that can be a pain to get sometimes.

I don't get the paper ibonds from tax returns because at this point I'd much rather deal with TD than paper bonds but ymmv (it's not that hard to send in paper bonds to be "converted" to electronic ibonds but it hasn't seemed necessary/worthwhile to me).[/quote]
