can you change ee bonds for h bonds .
Series H bonds are no longer issued, only EE and I.
can i roll over e and ee bonds to a h bond without declaring interest as income?
Mark - as the above chart shows, H/HH bonds are no longer issued, so no, you can't.

Do you still issue paper bonds? I can't keep track of all the junk on computers. I don't want to buy anymore bonds if I don't get a certificate of ownership.
Hi Vern - I wrote a book about Savings Bonds, but I've never issued them. The US Treasury, however, still issues paper Savings Bonds.

I have read that my series I savings bonds, bought in 07-2000, have now started paying interest. Anywhere from 3 to over 6%. BUT, the websites I use to calculate interest still show them earning 0%. What is really going on? Thanks
Steve - The information you're looking for is on my page about how I bond interest rates work. Take particular note of the section called Understanding rate periods.
