Can I avoid income tax on my Savings Bond interest by using the proceeds to buy a house?
Tom’s response
No. Roth IRAs have a tax-saving feature related to first home purchases, but not Savings Bonds.
FDIC Insured Certificates of Deposit can pay 1 or 2% more than savings bonds when held for a similar length of time. See top CD Rates Below:

Virtually every question about Savings Bonds has been asked and answered on this site multiple times. Use the search feature (see the box in the gray area near the top of this page) or the detailed menu on the lower part of the home page to find the information you're looking for.
