Ibonds social security number incorrect

Post by Ivy »

I received my tax refund in paper ibonds. My husband and I filed a joint tax return. The ibonds were issued in my name only with my husband as beneficiary (as requested), but have my husband's social security number on them. On the Treasury Direct site, it says to notify (by letter) them of incorrect social security numbers,which I will do, but it also says there is no need for the bonds to be reissued. I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it can cause problems. I do plan to have the bonds converted to my electronic account. Anyone else had this situation?
