Theresa - If you lost your Savings Stamps there's no way to have them replaced or tracked down. Here's more info on Savings Stamps.

Hi Jeff - I confirmed that the paper/electronic limits are separate for entity registrations, as they are for individual registrations, with a Treasury spokesperson.

I don't know if the paper application has been updated, but nothing about the paper application or process has changed, so I doubt it.

Tom, I just want to confirm that entities such as an LLC or a Trust may purchase a total of $10,000 in I Bonds - $5000 in paper bonds and $5000 online through Treasury Direct.

Have the paper bond applications been updated to reflect this change?

Carol - I bonds issued in March 2006 are currently earning 5.94% and won't begin earning 0% until September.

You want to let three months pass - September, October, November - so that your early redemption penalty becomes zero.

Thus you should wait until December to cash these if you can.

Tom, I purchased two $5,000 paper I bonds in March 2006. It is imperative that I cash them in before the end of this year. I can't figure out which month to cash them in so as to get the least penalty possible. Can you help a dyslexic figure this out??
Thanks
