<prompt> Human: Hi all, hoping for some advice. I dont know anything about savings bonds and Im just trying to help my husband find some answers. My husband cashed some savings bonds a few months ago. He didnt keep a receipt. He received less than 500 when cashing the bonds. I told him that I thought he would need to include them on his income taxes so he called the bank. The woman at the bank said that they will mail something to the address that was on the savings bond we dont live there. She was not very helpful.My questions are: Do savings bonds need to be claimed on income taxes? How important is it to include them?  <response>: Do savings bonds need to be claimed on income taxes?Yes.How important is it to include them?It is as important as any other income information.
