For many, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurydirect.gov\/indiv\/products\/prod_ibonds_glance.htm\">Series I Savings Bond<\/a> is just the ticket. I Bonds give investors a rate of return plus inflation protection and are backed by the U.S. government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I Bonds are pretty simple to set up. You can go to <a href=\"https:\/\/treasurydirect.gov\/\">TreasuryDirect.gov<\/a> and open a free account to purchase these federally-backed securities directly from the U.S. Treasury.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Started<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying I Bonds directly is easy. Just follow these simple steps: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Gather your info.<\/strong> Make sure you have the following close at hand: your taxpayer identification number, current address, checking or savings account information, and email address.<\/li><li><strong>Go to Treasurydirect.gov&#8217;s account creation page.<\/strong> Navigate to the bottom of the page and select \u201cApply Now\u201d on the left. This will begin your account creation journey. Next, you will choose between an Individual or Entity account. Select Individual account type (it\u2019s the default option) and click \u201cSubmit.\u201d<\/li><li><strong>Enter your info.<\/strong> Using the information gathered in step 1, fill in the fields requested and check the box at the bottom to certify your Taxpayer Identification Number. Click \u201cSubmit.\u201d<\/li><li><strong>Select a personalized image.<\/strong> Take some time here to select an image and caption you will remember. Think of this as a visual password for your account. Click \u201cSubmit.\u201d<\/li><li><strong>Secure your account.<\/strong> Select your password and security questions on this screen. Make sure the answers to your security questions are impossible to guess but easy to remember. Click \u201cSubmit\u201d to move to the final step.<\/li><li><strong>Check your email.<\/strong> Finally, look for your TreasuryDirect account number in your email. You\u2019ll need this to log into your account later.<sup>2<\/sup><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can begin purchasing I Bonds now that you\u2019ve created your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Few Things to Keep In Mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I Bonds earn interest for 30 years unless you cash them in. You can do this after a year has passed from the time of purchase, but you&#8217;ll lose the previous three months of interest. However, there is no penalty if you let them mature for five years or more. The maximum amount you can invest is $10,000 total per calendar year.<sup>3<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Sure If I Bonds are Right for You? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions about I Bonds or other financial opportunities? <a href=\"https:\/\/dsb-rockisland.com\/wealth-management-and-planning\/wealth-management-team\/\">Reach out to our advisors<\/a> with your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-small-font-size\">This material was prepared by MarketingPro, Inc., and does not necessarily represent the views of the presenting party, nor their affiliates.
