Savings bonds are issued by the U.S. Treasury Department and are a dependable method to save money for the future. Because the government backs a savings bond, financial markets do not affect a bond's value. Savings bonds are free from state and local taxes, and you can defer federal taxes on the earnings until you redeem the bond or it reaches maturity. If you are saving for your child’s future or investing in your own, it is important to know the future value of your savings bond.
