Hi

Does anyone know if I'm supposed to report and claim as income any interest that accrues on my I Bonds each year or if I just pay tax on it when I sell them?

And if I'm suppose to claim the interest each year, how does one know how much to claim since I don't get any kind of 1099-INT for them?

Thanks,
RB
