Dallas, Texas, January 24, 1963

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING TAX ACCOUNT
NUMBERS ON SAVINGS BOND TRANSACTIONS

To All Banking Institutions and Others Concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:

The Treasury Department has requested that the information contained in its letter to financial
institutions dated January 21, 1963, concerning identification numbers on applications for Series H savings
bonds be supplemented to include other types of savings bond transactions which will also require the
inclusion of a taxpayer identifying number. The letter from the Treasury Department was forwarded
to you with our circular letter entitled Tax Account Numbers on Applications for Series H Savings Bonds,
dated January 23, 1963.
Effective February 1, 1963, tax account numbers must be shown on applications involving the follow­
ing types of savings bond transactions:
Original issue of Series H savings bonds
Reissues of Series H and Series K savings bonds
Exchanges of eligible Series E, F or J savings bonds for bonds of Series H
Exchanges of matured Series F and Series G savings bonds for bonds of
Series H
As explained in the Department’s letter, financial institutions may accept applications concerning
any of the above transactions from individuals who do not have taxpayer identifying numbers and submit
such applications to the Federal Reserve Bank or Branch if the applicant is willing to obtain an identifying
number. Such applications will be retained in suspense by the Federal Reserve Bank for a period of not
more than eight weeks from the date of receipt. After this period, if the identifying number has not been
received, the application will be returned and must be submitted as a new application.
Until such time as original issue, reissue and exchange application forms have been redesigned to
provide for the insertion of the Social Security or Employer Identification number, please continue using
such forms that are currently provided and include the tax account number of the owner as part of the
inscription on bonds to be issued.
Yours very truly,
Watrous H. Irons
President
