- If bonds are being purchased for the child's college education, the parent
- should own them. This is because section 135 of the Internal Revenue
- Code may allow the interest income on the bonds to be excluded from
- income if the bonds are used to pay tuition and fees. Exactly how
- much will be excluded depends upon the income of the parent at the time
- the bonds are cashed in, the amount of bonds cashed in and the amount of
- tuition expense. It seems reasonable to keep the bonds in the parent's
- name in case the exclusion would be available.
