funds to buy the bond, you must pay the tax on
the interest.

 Under these circumstances, the co-owner who
redeemed the bond will receive a Form 1099-INT
at the time of redemption and must provide you
with another Form 1099-INT showing the amount
of interest from the bond taxable to you.

“nominee.”
See Nominee distributions under How To Report
