Sounds worth while checking into. Question: If I buy $1000 three different times one month apart, do I have three bonds, or one bond worth $3000? If it is one bond, what will the issue date be? Since there are issues about the bond that relate to the age, where does it end up at?
The good news is that you can buy I Bonds as often as you’d like! The bad news is that you can’t surpass the limits, and they are pretty tight:
You can buy up to $10,000 in bonds online.
You can buy up to $5,000 additional bonds on paper using your federal income tax return.
How much can I buy?
Individual purchase limits for I Bonds are $15,000 per calendar year—$10,000 worth of electronic I Bonds and $5,000 worth of paper I Bonds. Paper I Bonds can only be purchased using your federal tax refund and cannot be purchased digitally.
So if you chose to buy $5,000 worth of I paper bonds with your tax refund in April 2022, you can still buy up to $10,000 worth of electronic I Bonds throughout the calendar year.[1]
