Savings bonds 911
Comments (8)I took EE bonds to be the same as E bonds w/r to reporting. That may be rong--see paragraph 3 below. Depends on when they were bought - see paragragh 4 below - that could be significant. Current tax programs probly don't consider the E's as they are obsolete. www.publicdebt.treas.gov Series E Series E bonds were first issued in May 1941. They played a major role in financing World War II and continued as a stable method of debt financing. Series E bonds were withdrawn from sale as of June 30, 1980. They were replaced by Series EE bonds. Series E bonds are accrual bonds which were issued at 75 percent of face amount. Series E bonds were issued in denominations of $10, $25, $50, $75, $100, $200, $500, $1,000, $10,000, and $100,000. (Note: Eligibility to buy the $10 and $100,000 Series E bonds was limited.) Interest is paid at redemption as part of the current redemption value. Series E bonds may be redeemed by many financial institutions and by Federal Reserve Banks. To find out what Series E bonds are worth, try our online Savings Bond Calculator. Series E interest is reportable for Federal income tax purposes for the year in which the Series E bonds are redeemed, reach final maturity, or are otherwise disposed of, whichever occurs earliest; alternatively, a bond owner may elect to report Series E interest as it accrues. P Series E bonds have had varying original maturity periods depending on their issue dates, ranging from 10 years for the oldest bonds to 5 years for the last ones issued. Series E bonds issued from May 1941 to November 1965 have been granted three 10-year extended maturity periods. Those issued after November 1965 have been granted two 10-year extended maturity periods. Series E bonds issued from May 1952 through November 1965 have been granted an additional extension sufficient in length to make their total interest-accruing life spans 40 years. Those issued in December 1965 and after have been granted an additional extension sufficient to make their total interest-accruing life spans 30 years. ============================== www.wwwebtax.com All of the accumulated interest on E and EE US Savings Bonds is taxable in the tax year that they mature and must be reported on your tax return. One way to avoid the tax is to trade the E or EE US Savings Bonds for HH bonds. This will continue to defer the tax and you won't need to report the tax on your tax return. Special tax rules apply for US Savings Bond Tuition Plans. Series HH US Savings Bonds cannot be purchased and are offered only in exchange for Series E and EE US Savings Bonds or Freedom Shares. They pay semi-annual interest that is taxable in the tax year received and must be reported on your tax return....See Morewhere can I find easy to use nutrition calculator
Comments (6)Rita, thanks for the advice. I'm shopping much more carefully; reading labels; and weighing foods. We are doing lots of fresh fruit and veggies, and I'm making my own chicken stock. DH's low-sodium diet is so much less restrictive than many I've heard of. He's allowed 2000mg of sodium a day...only 300mg less than the recommended daily average. I agree with you about my health. I've started going to the gym more frequently. Needless to say, I too have cut back on sodium. Our next big challenge is going to be eating out for 10 days. DH is going to be on a business trip that we are combining with a mini-vacation. I have downloaded to my phone two pretty good apps for figuring out sodium content of foods. I had the same problems with sparkpeople that I had with nutritiondata. Everything is added from a drop-down menu and frequently the amounts or the items are not the same. For instance, I needed to enter 1 lb of bone-in chicken breasts. I could not find a match. Since there are several folks who like each, I'm assuming the difficulties are me and not the site....See MoreHelp Calculating Which Heat to Use
Comments (3)I fount this calculator online, I am sure there are others: https://www.peco.com/Savings/ToolsandCalculators/Pages/HeatingComparison.aspx I was playing with it without knowing your electric rates, but it seems like the heat pump always wins (vs. oil - natural gas wins overall). You can put your data into the calculator and see.

Comments (6)'a cabinet for a 30" wall oven would not be 30"' From what I can see looking up spec sheets, this is not typically true. The minimum width cabinet specified for the 27" wall ovens I saw was 27". That's because, while the visible part of the oven is only slightly less than 27" wide, the back of the unit is substantially smaller so it can slide between the sides of a 27" cabinet. If you wanted to put the unit in a larger cabinet then you could do that, but it would be an entirely aesthetic choice. For your purposes, I'd assume that your 36" cooktop will require 36" of space, a 27" oven will require 27" of space, and leave it at that. Refrigerators can be a different story, as they require clearance space for the doors to open sideways, as can apron-front sinks which are sometimes installed with cabinet stiles coming up around the bowl. Here is a link that might be useful: Look at the weights and dimensions part of theses specs...See Moremaifleur01
