States shall be considered to be interest. Under Sections 42 and 11 7(a )(1) o f the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by
Section 115 o f the Revenue A ct o f 1941, the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold shall not be considered
to accrue until such bills shall be sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as
capital assets. A ccordingly, the owner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder need in­
clude in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on sub­
sequent purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for
which the return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
