Looks like I'll be purchasing my first house here in July. I have $10k worth of Treasury Bonds that I wanted to cash out and use towards my down payment. Is the cashed out Bonds taxable or not since it will be used for my 1st house purchase. I know there were supposedly waivers for cashing out IRAs and such, but wasn't sure about Bonds. Any ideas? |

If you booked a gain on the bonds (you got back more than what you paid for it, inclusive of commissions), then you pay a tax on the capital gain.
Depending on your situation, you may need to consult a tax attorney if part of the bond appreciation was in fact accrued interest. You of course will be paying taxes on the interest coupons. |
