Would it make sense to do a 10k gift in my wife’s account and transfer that to mine whenever they actually open it up?
That's what I just did because there's a hold on my wife's account and I want to get this in before May 1. 10k for me, and a 10k gift for her while waiting for the hold to be resolved.

I just added the bank account routing numbers and account numbers.
That’s all I want to do. I took a wrong turn on the Treasury Direct Highway and now I’m in limbo. I thought I was following along correctly and printed out documents, went to my bank to get “medallion” certification per instruction, and now I’m in limbo for “up to 8 weeks”.

I think for whatever reason, some accounts get flagged for additional information. That’s where my account currently is while my wife’s account was immediately approved in seconds.

Wife and I had no problems setting up our accounts. Was able to easily place the full amount for this year plus gift each other another $10,000 each to be delivered next January. Beats the heck out of any savings account or money market out there.

Wife and I bought ours Friday afternoon but it didn't process until today so we get the May rate. Hope the NOV rate is good.

We put 40k in total with gifts.
As I understand it, we each can pay 5k to the Treasury and purchase 5k more each using that money? This doesn't make sense to me?

I guess mostly why? Why not just let people just buy 15k worth?
Secondly, how does one pay from your treasury account to treasure direct?

I believe there is a form you turn in with your tax return to purchase the paper I-bonds. I don’t believe it can be done any other way.

I don’t know exactly how it works on your return, but I believe it’s been answered in this thread.

Yeah turbo tax didn't ask if I wanted ibonds
Supposedly those are paper bonds
Unrelated I guess you don't get 1099 int until cash/maturity? I think my dad on some claims interest yearly but no way IRS can keep that straight

Do y’all think it would be smart to borrow 10K from my 401k and put it into this? Trying to find a way to get the max value

Would debt payments stop you from maxing 401k ($20k)?
Risk ibonds locked for year if you left job would need to pay back loan or pay penalty
