§ 16771 Bond And Coupon Cancellation

Key Takeaways

  • •When a bond or coupon is paid, it must be marked as paid so everyone knows.
  • •If bonds aren't sold by their due date, they must be marked as canceled.
  • •Coupons on unsold bonds must be removed and canceled when their due date passes.

Example

Imagine you have a savings bond from the government that you never cash in.

If the bond reaches its due date and you still haven’t sold it, the government will mark it as canceled. If there are little coupons attached to it for interest payments, they’ll cut those off and cancel them too when their time is up.
