Turning your tax refund into an I Bond may be a smooth move [USAToday]

When you file your 2009 tax return, you can arrange to use all or a portion of your refund to buy inflation-adjusted Savings Bonds, or I Bonds.

It's nice to see the government is making it easy to buy I Bonds. Let's hope we see some decent I Bond fixed rates in the future.

Not if your refund is over $5000.

I've been eschewing I-Bonds ever since Treasury brilliantly decided to lower the annual electronic limit from $30K to $5K.
