Changing the beneficiary on a Savings Bond

I want to change the beneficiary on my Savings Bonds. Will I have to pay tax to do this?

Tom's response

You can change the beneficiary on a Savings Bond without tax implications. On older Series E and H bonds you need permission of the current beneficary, but on EE, HH, and I bonds that's not required.

There's more information, including a link to the form you need, in my post on adding a beneficiary to a Savings Bond registration.
