U.S. Savings Bonds
Whether you're saving for a new home, car, vacation, education, retirement, or for a rainy day, U.S. Savings Bonds can help you reach your goals with safety, market-based yields, and tax benefits. The money invested in savings bonds directly helps finance our country's borrowing needs. The interest earned on savings bonds is exempt from all state and local income taxes. Federal income taxes on the interest are deferred until the bonds reach final maturity, or you redeem them, whichever is first.
Make saving automatic; the new Series I Bond and the Series EE Bond are both easy to buy through the University of Wisconsin as an after-tax payroll deduction.
For more information on Savings Bonds you can visit www.savingsbonds.gov or call 1-800-4US-BOND for recorded rate information.
To sign up please contact your staff benefits office. The UW Savings Bond Program is administered by National Bond and Trust Company.
