Exclusion of interest on savings bonds redeemed to finance educational expenses

Program Information

Popular name

N/A

Program Number

TC.110

Program objective

The baseline tax system generally would tax all income under the regular tax rate schedule. It would not allow preferentially low (or zero) tax rates to apply to certain types or sources of income. Under current law, however, interest earned on U.S. savings bonds issued after December 31, 1989, is tax-exempt if the bonds are transferred to an educational institution to pay for educational expenses. The tax exemption is phased out for taxpayers with AGI between $145,200 and 175,200 if married filing jointly ($96,800 and $111,800 for other taxpayers) in 2023.
