TAX LIABILITY: If the name of a living owner or principal coowner of the bonds is eliminated from the registration, the owner or principal
coowner must include the interest earned and previously unreported on the bonds to the date of the transaction on his or her Federal
income tax return for the year of the reissue. (Both registrants are considered to be coowners when bonds are registered in the form: "A"
or "B.") The principal coowner is the coowner who (1) purchased the bonds with his or her own funds, or (2) received them as a gift,
inheritance, or legacy, or as a result of judicial proceedings, and had them reissued in coownership form, provided he or she has
received no contribution in money or money's worth for designating the other coowner on the bonds. If the reissue is a reportable event,
the interest earned on the bonds to the date of the reissue will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by a Federal Reserve
Bank or Branch or the Bureau of the Fiscal Service under the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. THE OBLIGATION TO
REPORT THE INTEREST CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED TO SOMEONE ELSE THROUGH A REISSUE TRANSACTION. If you have
questions concerning the tax consequences, consult the IRS, or write to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Washington, DC 20224.
Unless we are otherwise informed, the first-named coowner will be considered the principal coowner for the purpose of this
transaction.

form must be signed by the person having custody of the securities or knowledge of their loss. If any person
whose signature is required is a minor who does not have a court-appointed guardian, the minor may sign

sufficient competency to understand the nature of the transaction. If not, the form must be signed by both
parents on the minor’s behalf. If you have Series EE or Series I bonds, a minor cannot sign on his or her
own behalf. The form must be signed by the parents. If the minor does not reside with either parent, the
form must be completed and signed by the person who furnishes the minor’s chief support. The minor’s age
and Social Security Number must be furnished.

satisfaction of an authorized certifying officer. The signatures to the form must be signed in the officer's presence. The
certifying officer must affix the seal or stamp which is used when certifying requests for payment. Authorized certifying
officers are available at financial institutions, including credit unions, in the United States. Certification by a notary isn’t
acceptable. Examples of acceptable seals and stamps:
• The financial institution’s official seal or stamp, including: Signature Guaranteed seal or stamp; Endorsement
Guaranteed seal or stamp; Corporate seal or stamp (a corporate resolution isn’t required); or Issuing or paying
agent seal or stamp (including name, location, and four-digit identification number or nine-digit routing number)
