Question

I NEED HELP ASAP! CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST

Choose all that apply. Select all of the reasons someone would purchase a savings bond.

1. no taxes
2. safe
3. easy to buy
4. matched deposits
5. great as gifts
6.good for the United States government

Answer 1

2. Safe and 3. Easy to buy

While savings bonds are tax exempt for state and local purposes, you will pay federal income tax when you redeem the savings bond (1. no taxes).
These savings bonds are safe because they are sums lent to the US government and protected and backed by their powers (2. safe). In addition, they are easy and convenient to buy because of the low minimums and the online purchase system on the Treasury website (3. easy to buy).

They are not matched deposits (4. matched deposits). While you may receive them as gifts, you cannot redeem these gifts for a number of years, making them non-fungible (5. Great as gifts). Finally, there is a myth that these are good for the United States government but really they are merely backed and protected by the United States government as a savings mechanism. Saving is good for the US economy but does not have a truly meaningful impact on the US government.  

Answer 2

I don't normally see many questions about saving bonds so I'll happily answer this for you :) 1. No taxes is a reason, you don't have to pay state or local taxes on any of the saving bond but you will have to pay federal tax.
2. Safe this is also a reasons because saving bonds are backed up by the U.S federal government. 3. easy to buy I would consider these pretty easy to buy depends on what kind. The rest I wouldn't say are reasons thought. Well everyone has different reasons so it's really up to the person, but I would say 1, 2, and 3 are the best reasons.
