TreasuryDirect account number ________________________________
Account name ________________________________________________________________
Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number _______________________________
NOTE: You may add a secondary owner or beneficiary once bonds have been replaced in electronic form within your
TreasuryDirect account. For more information, access your account and click on “How do I” at the top of the page to find
instructions on how to add a secondary owner or beneficiary.
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.

If substitute bonds are requested and a bond is within less than one full calendar month of reaching its final maturity, or has
reached final maturity, payment will be made instead.
